    There is a push for American unions to set their next contract expiration dates to 1 May 2028, specifically to enable a general strike.

      Important to note that this is a workaround. Solidarity strikes (which normally include general strikes) are illegal, but there’s no law that prevents every union from happening to strike on their own behalf at the same time.
