Be prepared! A general strike is scheduled for Mayday 2028, with UAW and CTU.
SAVE AND PLAN WHAT YOU CAN!
So that you can strike yourself, and so that you can help your neighbors, your coworkers, your comrades strike!
We’ve got 3 more years to prepare for ~10 critical days. If we are all serious about it and spread the word, and are truly prepared for the event, our demands and thus our conditions will improve greatly!
It is up to us.
Do we choose to accept the working situation we have become entangled in, or are we willing to sacrifice for something better?
Planning it for further out gives people opportunity to organize and save for missing 10+ days of paychecks. It does feel like if we wait that long though we’ll be in a hopeless situation. Maybe organizing smaller general strikes like state or city wide in the meantime would help prepare and buy time for the big one
The timing has to do with major union contracts expiring for renegotiation iirc. There are a few really big ones set for the same time which gives a good opportunity for coordinated bargaining across industries
2028 is far too late. Climate, forced deportation, and widening inequality will have all of us so weak and poor we won’t even survive the 10 days due to malnutrition.
That and it gives them three fucking years to prepare for our strike. If the rich do a pump and dump and crash the economy before we do then we’re the ones who get fucked. It also gives them time to prepare the national guard and military which might have clearance to murder Americans domestically by then.
It was partially coined in remembrance of the Haymarket massacre when the government and capitalist elites deployed armed forces against workers during a general strike, and also after othet strikes around the world and in the US that gave us the standard 40 hour work week.
May 1st. What should have been labor day in the US, but the government moved it to September. Because they can’t have us organizing with the rest of the world.

In 2028. The fuck? Now, my person. Now!

At the very least, take the political cycle and midterms into consideration, otherwise what’s the point?

Coordinating with unions 👍 Waiting three years 👎

The sooner the better!

Something of comedy that pilots call out for a day off when their plane is going down. That was the first mayday that came to mind.
I hate that this made me laugh. Thank you, tho.
