Shawn Fain, the fiery leader of the United Auto Workers, is stirring up a storm with his call for a colossal general strike in May 2028, aiming to unite workers across America.
🚩 Strike Call Echoes Through Labor Ranks — In a charged address at the UAW national political conference, Fain didn't just talk shop. He lit a fuse for action, urging members to unite for a massive walkout in 2028. "We want everybody walking out," he proclaimed, setting sights on a nationwide demonstration akin to those in other countries.
🔨 A Master Plan for Maximum Impact — The UAW has smartly lined up its major contract expirations with the U.S.'s big three automakers for May 1, 2028. The date, known globally as International Solidarity Day, is chosen for maximum effect, as Fain nudges other unions to join this synchronized labor showdown.
👥 Fain's Political Punch — After much consideration, the union finally decided to endorse President Biden for re-election during a union conference in Washington D.C. yesterday.
