2005 BBC strike
The 2005 BBC strike was a strike of more than 11,000 BBC workers over a proposal to cut 4,000 jobs and to privatise parts of the BBC under the management of Mark Thompson. Much of the BBC's regular programming was affected, with many programmes being replaced with pre-recordings, and some being halted altogether, with those that remained suffering in quality due to the striking of many technical workers.
