The appeal for joint expiration on such a meaningful day for workers opens up possibilities ranging from mass, simultaneous strikes that disrupt industries across the country to a tremendous number of concurrent contract campaigns that increase worker leverage. This kind of cooperation across unions and sectors-if carried out on a large scale-would be unprecedented in the 21st century United States.
Shawn Fain, the UAW president, is urging the labor movement to scale up this kind of joint action. 'We want a general strike,' Fain told the UAW's national political conference, emphasizing the need for collective efforts to enhance bargaining power.
