StrikeMap is undoubtedly a slam-dunk success. The brainchild of Rob Poole and Henry Fowler, it is a real time on line map showing industrial action.
Now over 230 thousand strike actions have been mapped and StrikeMap’s data is sought out by journalists, academics and researchers.
But how did it all start. What is the story of Rob and Henry’s journey that led them to StrikeMap? Where did the idea come from and what did it take to put it into practice? What needs to happen just to keep the project going?
From being "monstered" by the Daily Mail to an innovative partnership with the GFTU, this is a story not to miss.
Plus, of course, Professor Mel Simms and her #thought4theweek
