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.

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.

There's more info in the description at the link for those interested. I might pick this up at my library to give a read.
If I didn't already pay union dues I'd be tempted to join IWW or something similar, although it's more an advocacy group at this point. Also been happy to see Jacobin covering the labor movement.
