Overview

Opportunity Description

The ILR Labor Action Tracker – This project is seeking two fellows and builds a database and interactive map visualization that captures labor strike and protest activity in the United States. Given serious shortcomings in official sources of data, we compile information from existing databases, traditional media, and social media to document a variety of workplace-based actions. The primary research responsibilities for the research fellow will be to gather data on strikes and protests and enter them into the database. Our research group meets regularly to discuss strike and protest events, and to continually refine our methodology. – with Eli Friedman and Johnnie Kallas and Deepa Kylasam Iyer.
