    Literally the first paragraph of the article

    All three contracts that emerged are slated to expire on the same day: May 1, 2028, International Workers’ Day. This is not the first time the UAW has aligned the Big Three contracts, but what the union did next is remarkable. It put out a challenge to the US labor movement: “We invite unions around the country to align your contract expirations with our own so that together we can begin to flex our collective muscles,”

      More than just unions, people need to walk out. They can’t fire all of you in one day.

      Four years is a great amount of time to plan for it and get people on board. You gotta start talking to people about it, first!

        Four years is great timing if a liberal Dem wins the presidency four years from now on a Trump rebound. Labor can go out of their way to make their ally look bad.

        They really need a clear set of demands for this - like a minimum wage demand, or Medicare for all.

            Huge difference between a teacher’s union and a cop union. You shouldn’t make blanket statements like this about labor - they aren’t correct and actually make you look like what you’re accusing them of being here.

            Please try to comment with more specificity in the future, and cite sources of claims, or may need remove statements like this as misinformation.
