Last year a network of unions and community organizations organized the largest May Day actions in U.S. history: 1,200 actions in all 50 states. This year, the stakes are even higher, and the examples inspiring us are even bolder. The Chicago Teachers Union’s House of Delegates, the union’s governing body, has endorsed a national call for “no school, no work, no shopping” on May 1. Recent boycotts of Disney, Target, and Tesla have shown us that we can shake the pillars of corporate America.

It's funny, I suggested May Day 2026 as the obvious start of a prolonged general strike, and I was immediately told that that was ridiculous and impractical.
But they didn't tell me why.
I'd like to see a general strike start on May 1st (May Day) of 2026. What do you think?
What would happen if one morning soon every desk jockey and cube monkey in America accidentally broke their laptop or some other piece of equipment that is vital to their work?
Seriously, what would happen?
