This report marks our second collective effort to document contemporary international strike trends. This year, researchers and research groups from five additional countries (Argentina, Belgium, South Africa, the UK and Uruguay) have joined the project. This 2023 report examines strike trends across eleven countries, aiming to enhance visibility and provide insight into global workers’ strikes. While compiling this report requires substantial effort, we remain committed to continuing this work in the years ahead.

Due to the labor-intensive nature of protest event analysis, this report focuses on 2023 rather than 2024. However, we hope to narrow this gap in future reports.

Long live the international solidarity of workers!
