Is America Headed for a French-Style General Strike?
November 4, 2026 // For several years, Fain and the UAW have been promoting a coordinated strike on May Day 2028, with ambitions extending well beyond the auto industry. A general strike involves workers across multiple economic sectors walking off their jobs, potentially causing widespread disruption. In the UAW’s case, a coordinated strike could involve far more than workers in automobile factories. It could include graduate teaching assistants, office staff, lawyers, and aerospace engineers. In fact, NPR reports that nearly 100,000 of UAW’s nearly 400,000 members work in higher education—serving as research assistants, clerical and technical workers, adjunct professors, and postdocs.
