No stability concerns in the revision history
Earwig's copyvio tool is not working for me at the moment, so I am assuming good faith based on previous GA reviews and some spot checks
This is a general question more than anything. Your strike articles often include some section on long-term impact; it has been five years since the Jim Beam strike, so are there any more developments we can pull from that? I wouldn't include the 2019 warehouse fire, since that was an act of God, which is why I am asking in curiosity.
Unfortunately, I was not able to find much information on the long-term impact of the strike from any reliable sources, but if I do, I will be sure to update the article accordingly.
GhostRiver, I just wanted to reach out and say that I have made some edits to the article addressing the comments in your review. Thank you again for beginning this review, and if there are any further comments, questions, or concerns, please feel free to reach out. -

Hi
JJonahJackalope, review follows: article promoted to GA on 28 December; article is cited inline throughout to what look to be reliable sources; I didn't find any issue with overly close paraphrasing; hook fact is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me. One query, the background section notes that new employees were on $17.22 and then the "Course of the strike" section states "there would no longer be a two-tier wage system with some employees earning $17.22 per hour". I initially read that as some employees would now earn $17.22 an hour, but I guess it means that new employees would no longer be on the lower rate? Is there a way to clarify this? -
