What happened next changed lives for many. The paper locked the workers out and brought in scab workers. It is the first time in history that the corporation has started a strike. The power of the press had many people against the workers. The newspaper even set its own trucks on fire and Channel 4 broadcast that the workers had done it. They were charged with crimes in court but with a Republican Govenor they overcame it all. The workers won their court case in every court with a order for the paper to give them back their jobs and the paper appealed it all the way to the Supreme Court. It took 5 years. The conservative Supreme Court overturned all the other court decisions and found in favor of the paper. So the answer is nothing but corporate greed caused the newspaper strike
