Comment: Daily Mail is an unreliable source. Two sources are also primary and I doubt source 5 has WP:SIGCOV of this organisation. Needs more sources. Rambley (talk) 10:29, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

Strike Map is an organisation launched in December 2022.[1]. It was co-founded by Robert Poole and Henry Fowler[2]. Working in partnership with the General Federation of Trade Unions[3], the project aims to detail the time and location of strike action and picket lines across the islands of Britain and Ireland on an interactive map[4][5][6][7][8].
Aims
[edit]Strike Map outlines four aims of the website:
1. Document and present the levels of strike action in the country.
2. Enable others to see the levels of action and pass on messages of solidarity.
3. Encourage other workers in their struggles.
4. Bring those leading struggles together through a network.[9][10]
History
[edit]Starting during the coronavirus pandemic, the Office for National Statistics in the UK suspended the collection and publication of labour disputes data[11]. In response to this, trade union activists began to collate and publish data on strikes and pickets lines in the UK as part of a project called Strike Map[12].
Megapicket
[edit]On 9 May 2025 Strike Map organised a megapicket at Lifford Lane Depot in solidarity with striking Unite workers taking part in the 2025 Birmingham bin strike[13].
