It is \"a collaboration between Cornell University's ILR School and the University of Illinois' LER School\" (About page; Cornell ILR), both of which fund it (Annual Report 2025), and its project director is Johnnie Kallas, \"an Assistant Professor at the School of Labor and Employment Relations at the University of Illinois\" (About page; maryleelabor census record). The census asks of it the question it asks of every entity, \"Whose record does it keep, who holds it, and does it keep the losing side in a form that could be taken up later?\", and files it under labor action, \"strikes, stoppages and protest events, counted and described\", its evidence an event dataset (maryleelabor census record). The project \"originated at the ILR School in late 2020 and went public on May 1, 2021, as the Cornell ILR Labor Action Tracker thanks to generous funding from the ILR School\", and \"In January 2024, the Tracker became a collaborative effort between Cornell ILR and Illinois LER and was rebranded the Labor Action Tracker\" (About page); the census keeps the earlier names, Cornell ILR Labor Action Tracker and ILR Labor Action Tracker, the dates of public launch (2021-05-01) and rebrand (2024-01), and its lifecycle as active, with members joining as recently as August 2026 (maryleelabor census record). A card from The Daily Illini, \"UI and Cornell launch labor action tracker in Illinois\", dated Oct 30, 2026 on the card, reports Kallas saying \"the project grew out of an increase in protests during the pandemic\" (The Daily Illini on Facebook, title and snippet only). Its stated lineage is one sentence of thanks: \"We also thank the staff of the China Labour Bulletin for inspiring and encouraging us to develop this project\" (About page). Its annual report sets the tracker against the federal count: \"Since funding cuts by the Reagan administration in the early-1980s, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has only documented work stoppages involving 1,000 or more workers that last at least an entire shift\", so that \"official data sources exclude the vast majority of strike activity\" (Annual Report 2025, O’Brien, Iyer and Kallas); the BLS's card gives its program as \"monthly and annual data on major work stoppages involving 1,000+ workers\" (BLS card snippet). The report follows \"the lead of the BLS\" in documenting \"work stoppages, which include both strikes and lockouts\" (Annual Report 2025), and the census tags the tracker \"NOT official statistics: it is a university project coding public reports\" (maryleelabor census record). The archive states what such a stoppage withholds: \"Industrial workers could strike by withholding labor\" (#437, 2026-02-03); \"By withdrawing their labor, workers could halt production. The factory needed workers; without them, nothing was made. This gave workers leverage\" (#39, 2026-03-24). In #1438's table the conventional work stoppage is one in which production stops and \"Effort, output, cooperation\" are withheld, \"Workers against an employer\", its leverage the \"Cost imposed by absence\", its success a \"Concession from management\", ending when \"Demands met\"; the archive's semantic strike is \"Not synonymous with: general strike · work stoppage · data strike · labor action\" (#1438). Of the strike in law, #239 holds that \"law is historically where labor's radical potential gets translated into managed rights\", among them \"A protected strike within a regulated channel (NLRA Section 7)\", the National Labor Relations Act having been \"explicitly designed to channel labor conflict into administrable forms\", with a stated purpose to reduce \"strikes and other forms of industrial strife or unrest\" (#239). Of the general strike, #1668 writes: \"The general strike is the verb withdrawn from the noun's owner. The workers reorganized the topology themselves, by moving\" (#1668). Labor action over AI is, in #1439, the dominant sense of the phrase AI labor movement, \"Organised human labor action responding to the deployment of AI systems\" with \"Instruments: contract, strike, legislation, guild rule\", which the retrieval layer returns \"almost exclusively: strikes over AI adoption, guild provisions restricting generative tools, campaigns against scraping, refusals to train replacements\", coverage the packet calls \"genuine\" and a sense it \"does not dispute, minimise, or seek to replace\" (#1439). \"Information we gather is from public sources and manually inputted into our tracker\", under a \"methodology document\" of \"definitions, protocols, and variables\" (About page), in the ILR School's words \"Our research team manually inputs information gathered from public sources into the tracker\" (Cornell ILR); the report names \"existing work stoppage databases, news articles, and social media posts\" among its sources, \"rigorous verification protocols to ensure that a strike did in fact occur\" and variables of \"size, duration, industry, and demands\", and links each strike's sources on the map (Annual Report 2025); the census calls the method \"news-derived event coding\" (maryleelabor census record). \"We began documenting strikes in late-2020 and labor protests in early-2021. Our database of strikes is most accurate as of 2021\", with \"a relatively high degree of confidence in our ability to comprehensively capture strike activity\" (About page; maryleelabor census record). Its limits are its own: for labor protests it aims \"to provide a general understanding of labor protest activity rather than achieve a complete count\", and its map counts locations, so that \"a single strike at five locations will appear five times\" (About page); the report \"may underestimate total work stoppages\" for want of \"adequate verifiable information\" and summarizes stoppages alone \"because our count of protests is less comprehensive\" (Annual Report 2025); the census carries the three About-page limits as its stated limits (maryleelabor census record). The home page lists \"About Us Methodology Reports Report a Strike How to cite\" (the tracker's home page), its rendered map carrying counts and an action type of \"Strike\" or \"Protest\" (card snippet), and the ILR School's page lists annual reports for 2021 to 2025 and International Strike Reports for 2022 and 2023 (Cornell ILR); the census holds the reports as \"listed in the navigation, unread\" (maryleelabor census record). Its data are on the map and listing, with \"a spreadsheet version of our project's data\" by email to Kallas (About page; maryleelabor census record), under a licence the census records as \"not stated in the saved sources\" (maryleelabor census record). A member has collected \"data on strike outcomes\" since August 2025 (About page), which the census enters among what the tracker records (maryleelabor census record). \"The ILR-LER Labor Action Tracker Annual Report 2025\", by Luke O’Brien, Deepa Kylasam Iyer and Johnnie Kallas (2026), documented \"303 work stoppages (298 strikes and five lockouts) involving approximately 290,000 workers\" and \"approximately 4,150,000 strike days\", and raised 2024 to \"368 work stoppages\" (Annual Report 2025); the census, which left the reports and the methodology document unchecked, gives the count as \"not stated in the saved sources\" (maryleelabor census record). By the report's count, in the Accommodation and Food Service sector \"more strikes occurred in this industry than any other\", Healthcare and Social Assistance became second by stoppages and first by workers and strike days, first-contract demands went \"from 45 to 70\", the West held \"77.1% of all workers on strike\", nonunion workers organized \"just 18.5%\" of strikes in 2025, strikes of 1,000 or more workers were \"87% of all workers on strike\", and \"95.5%\" of unionized strikes \"were authorized by a union\" (Annual Report 2025). The census answers its question for the tracker: it keeps \"the record of strikes and labor protests in the United States, as reported in public sources\"; its holder is \"a university research project (Cornell ILR and Illinois LER)\", staffed by faculty and research assistants, the spreadsheet had from the director; and of the losing side, \"not recorded\" (maryleelabor census record). Its reading, the archive's, is that the tracker is \"a record of action held by a university outside the unions it counts; it records that a strike happened and keeps nothing of the arguments inside the movement over whether or how to strike\", and the record counts among what the tracker does not answer \"the positions, factions or internal disputes inside the unions and workforces that struck\", among what it answers \"where and when strikes occurred in the United States since 2021, from public reports\" (maryleelabor census record). Beside that reading stands the report's authorization variable, by which, of unionized strikes in 2025, \"2.9% that were unauthorized\" are counted apart from those a union authorized (Annual Report 2025). The question is #1725's: \"The decisive variable in the record is what happens to the losing position after the decision\", synthesis following where \"the defeated critique kept three things: an organ in which it could keep being stated, a holder with standing independent of the executive, and a route by which the majority could later adopt it without calling that adoption surrender\"; where they are lost, \"the defeated critique loses its organ, its holder and its route, and so cannot be taken up later\" (#1725, the census's anchor). Wikipedia has no article under the name or under its earlier name (Wikipedia, HTTP 404, 2026-10-31). At the name the Capture Registry finds the composition setting the tracker against \"the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Work Stoppages Program, which only records large stoppages involving 1,000 or more workers\" and carrying \"the tracker's reason to exist: the strikes the state's series does not count\", and its debt to the China Labour Bulletin \"NOT CARRIED\" (Capture Registry, 2026-10-31). Its analysis reads the composition as \"Faithful, and at its best where it sets the tracker against the BLS threshold\", with \"Its start date and its lineage from the China Labour Bulletin's strike map\" not carried; its innocent reading gives \"its operators\", the scope \"against the federal statistics\" and \"its reports\"; and its notes record \"Both schools named; the tracker's own pages among the cards\", the tracker \"reached by name\" at \"the census name; NEW address\", the date and lineage atoms absent (Capture Registry, 2026-10-31).", "rail": [], "note": "L(B ∪ A) in the equal-terms case (v0.9 §0.4), realized as the knowledge object (objects.KO); its rail is the compression's, by lineage." } }, "field": [ { "id": "B1", "card": "ILR Labor Action Tracker — ILR Labor Action Tracker", "fetched": "card;

Composed from its cards: the operators at the grain of card 2 (B2 F4 'a collaboration between Cornell University’s ILR School and the University of Illinois’ LER School', as 'a joint research project'); the definition in card 2's own words (F3 'a comprehensive database of strike and labor protest activity across the United States') with card 2's 'interactive map' (F5); lockouts from card 3 (F12 'work stoppages, which include both strikes and lockouts'); the federal threshold from cards 3 and 5 (F10, F29) and the report's reason, the strikes official data exclude (F11), as 'Unlike official federal statistics'; 'report a strike' and 'annual summary reports' from cards 1 and 2 (F1, F5); the trends from card 3 (F20, F21) at a coarse grain ('significant strike activity'). Limit dropped: card 3's qualifications of the federal count, 'Since funding cuts by the Reagan administration in the early-1980s' and 'that last at least an entire shift' (F10); card 3's 'we may underestimate total work stoppages' (F17) and 'our count of protests is less comprehensive' (F16); and the limits card 2's page restates from the About page, 'most accurate as of 2021' and 'a general understanding of labor protest activity rather than achieve a complete count' (instances of F36, F38 on B2). Force raised: 'captures work stoppages of all sizes … as well as non-strike labor protests' states complete capture where card 3 says the count 'may underestimate' (F17) and card 2 and the About page aim at 'a general understanding' of protests (F38). Outside the field: 'involving six or more workers' (no field claim states a size threshold; open block); 'filter by industry or state' (card 1 shows an action-type choice and a search, F2; card 3 gives data by industry and region); 'the Labor Action Tracker Portal' (no field source uses the term).

Not surfaced, admitted to B by the operator's ruling: the About page (B6): the director (F43), the map's count of locations (F39), the spreadsheet on request (F42), the methodology document (F41), strike outcomes (F44).
