UAW President Shawn Fain is calling for unions to plan for a mass strike on May Day 2028, encouraging them to synchronize their contract expiration dates. The UAW is also publicly launching campaigns at 13 non-unionized automakers, including Tesla, Volkswagen, and Toyota, in a bid to organize the entire non-union auto sector. The recent UAW strike cost General Motors $1.1 billion, leading to spending cuts, including on EVs and at Cruise, to absorb the costs of the new contract.
