STRIKE MAP founders said today that they “make no apologies” for raising awareness of workers’ struggles following criticism from the Daily Mail.

The founders of a website which tracks the location of strikes in Britain said they were shocked to see today’s front page article accusing them of being part of a plot by union “barons” to create a “de facto general strike.”

Henry Fowler and Robert Poole created Strike Map with a launch article in the Morning Star two years ago.
