Strike map

The industrial action support website, Strike Map, has joined up with the GFTU small unions federation in a mutually beneficial collaboration which will provide the project with a permanent home.

Strike Map, which has mapped over 230,000 workplaces taking strike action since December 2020, has grown in prominence during the current unprecedented period of industrial action.

As well as mapping strikes, it has signed up over 4,000 people to visit a picket, raised thousands of pounds for striking workers and has launched Strike Clubs, a group of localised networks of over 900 people coordinating visits to picket lines and solidarity with strikers locally.

GFTU general secretary Gawain Little said: “Our partnership will be about providing critical education for a new layer of trade union leaders, to grow and strengthen the movement for the good of all workers.”
