Book: Workers Make history

July 13, 2026

This Strike Map and Notes from Below special collection covers a relative upsurge in class struggle across Britain. It begins during the height of the pandemic, with the British Gas “fire and rehire” dispute and ends five years later with a strike story written by one of the many heroic Birmingham bin workers.

Published as part of the 100th year anniversary of the General Strike, these stories reaffirm a simple but vital truth: workers make history.
