The most recent ( 1998) which also makes it the easiest to research would have to be the waterside dispute, the australian govt backed the discision to lock 2000 waterside workers out.

As a result strong community support and an equally strong stance by the maritime union turned this into a defining momment in Australian history.

There is now a TV mini series made about this incident “Bastard Boys”
