StrikeRadarOPERATIONS-CRITICAL STRIKE INTELLIGENCEAbout 115 union members walk out amid stalled talks, as U.S. manufacturing, U.K. services, and Canadian emergency communications report parallel actions
United Steelworkers Local 5 members at Marathon Petroleum’s Martinez Renewables plant in California launched a strike on April 27, 2026, after contract talks stalled. Marathon said it completed a handover and is operating the facility with trained employees, while about 115 hourly union workers are on an economic strike in support of bargaining proposals. The union has called it an unfair labor practices strike, and the parties have been bargaining since the prior contract expired on January 31.
In Missouri, IAM Local 778 members at Olin Corp.’s Winchester division at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant remain on strike after rejecting a new contract offer; the union cites pay, working conditions, and excessive mandatory overtime, while the company says it addressed wages, work-life balance, and overtime. In the United Kingdom, Birmingham’s long‑running refuse dispute moved toward resolution, with city leaders saying an improved offer could be made and Unite calling the development a vindication for strikers. Sectoral action also looms elsewhere, with Equity balloting West End performers and stage managers on potential Saturday strikes and overtime bans, and CUPE 8911 opening a May 13 strike vote for more than 700 E‑Comm 9‑1‑1 workers in British Columbia.
Concurrent disputes and strike votes across the U.S., U.K., and Canada span energy, ammunition manufacturing, municipal services, entertainment, and emergency communications.
