No strikes since the 60s, but that is mostly because of pattern bargaining (the Director's Guild tends to set the terms in their negotiations that other guilds follow). This is good since directors tend to have strong bargaining power; for example, they have negotiated better rates for content produced for streaming media, which were set lower than for traditional media back when Hulu was just an idea.

It's actually the writer's guild that sets the pattern. They come first, then the DGA and SAG. This is why there have been so many prominent WGA strikes (1960, 1988, 2007-8) but few if any from the other unions. The other unions typically (but not always) show their support during the writer's strike, as they have so much riding on the outcome. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007%E2%80%9308_Writers_Guild_of_America_strike https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007%E2%80%9308_Writers_Guild_... The streaming media rates you mentioned, for example, were set after the 2007 WGA strike, not a DGA strike. Before this strike, streaming rates were not just set lower than traditional media, they were not set at all, and the proposal from the studios was... zero. Digital media (called "new media" at the time) was the most prominent issue in that strike.
