The UAW won’t be fighting its next battle alone, either. One of the most interesting aspects of the new UAW tentative agreements at Ford, GM, and Stellantis is that they are all timed to expire on April 30, 2028. If those contracts expire without reaching a satisfactory new deal, the UAW will be ready to strike on May Day, otherwise known as International Workers Day.
…
What’s more, the UAW hopes it won’t be hitting the picket lines alone. Fain has called on other unions to time their contracts to expire during the same period and “flex [their] collective muscles.” No, you’re not imagining things — the head of a major US labor union is calling on the rest of the movement to come together and start planning a general strike.
That’s a really well-written article, the complete opposite of a fluff piece.
I encourage folks to go read it.
In Teen Vogue of all places.
Teen vogue, believe it or not, has a decent publishing track record:

Right? I wouldn’t have known about it if I hadn’t stumbled across the author on BlueSky.
Teen Vogue’s op-eds are usually incredibly well done. It feels like they’ve stepped up as a quality voice for young progressives. I love it and wish they’d been that deep in my teen years lol
I went and read it (skimmed) after reading your comment, and I completely agree. This is a very well thought out piece.
