Worksite Research

Employer Worksite Research for Organizing Campaigns

Organizers need to know where the employer actually operates. Agitation Institute maps public worksite, branch, project, and location signals so campaign teams can plan with a clearer view of the employer's footprint.

Why worksite mapping matters

Campaigns depend on knowing where workers are

An employer's public footprint is often scattered across job postings, project pages, directories, maps, and social posts. Pulling it together into a useful picture takes structured research time that most organizers do not have.

Not every public signal is campaign-relevant. Worksite research filters and organizes the signals that matter, labels confidence levels, and flags what still needs field verification.

Field validation

Public signals need organizer follow-through

Public-source worksite research surfaces locations and signals - it does not replace boots-on-the-ground verification. Reports are designed to hand off clearly to organizers for field follow-up.

Every location is labeled: confirmed from public records, likely based on signals, or flagged as uncertain pending field check.

FAQ

Common questions

Can you find all worksites?

Public-source research surfaces strong signals but has limits. Not every location appears in public records. Reports distinguish confirmed locations from signals and flag gaps for field validation.

How accurate is public worksite research?

Accuracy depends on how publicly visible the employer is. Every finding is labeled with a confidence level so organizers know what needs field verification.

Can this identify active projects?

Yes, particularly for construction and project-based employers. We look for public project pages, procurement records, permit signals, and job postings referencing specific sites.

Can this help with jurisdiction questions?

Worksite research can help clarify where an employer operates. Formal jurisdiction determinations are a legal matter requiring labour lawyer or labour board guidance.

Do organizers need to verify locations in the field?

Yes. Public-source research surfaces signals that need field validation. Reports include recommended follow-up questions and flag which locations are confirmed versus inferred.
