The Guardian | Working Americans are taking the streets for May Day. Will Democrats pay attention? | Claire Valdez by Claire Valdez
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
May Day on May 1, 2026 saw more than 3,000 protests across the United States as workers, students and families demanded a strike that halts school, work and shopping while ending billionaire rule. Claire Valdez, a New York assemblymember, union organizer and Democratic socialist running for Congress, argues that both the Republican and Democratic establishments have abandoned the working class—exemplified by policies that ignore the cost‑of‑living crisis, fund overseas conflicts, and deregulate labor protections. She links today’s struggle to the historic fight for the eight‑hour day, noting that modern oligarchs such as Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are undermining workers’ rights while private‑equity gutts hospitals and pensions. Valdez calls for organized action, quoting UAW president Shawn Fain that it is time to decide the world we want and what we are willing to do, and urges unions to set contracts to expire on May 1 2028 and prepare for a general strike and a progressive electoral surge. The piece frames May Day as both beautiful and devastating—a reminder of the high stakes and the power of collective action to secure dignified wages, benefits, housing, healthcare and a good life for ordinary Americans.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/116409587609949458
#Ford needs to start selling, and #UAW to start making, the cars that drivers want to buy, not cars Ford wants to sell. Today, that means:
• safe (which means buttons and levers, not touchscreens)
• reliable (which means absence of features not necessary for one of these)
• efficient (which means not a wasteful giant box with terribly restricted driver vision)
• easy to repair (which means #rightToRepair)
• inexpensive to own and operate (which, for many, means a BEV car less expensive than the ICE Focus)
• nothing else (which, among other things, means no capacity for the car itself to connect to the Internet)We don’t need an infotainment system: we need a sturdy place to mount a cellphone. We don’t need a built-in screen for kids: we can hang our own tablet off the back of a seat in a case with a strap. We don’t need driver distraction compensation features: we need the car itself to present no distraction. We don’t need a status symbol: we need to get us and our stuff from point A to B with minimal hassle.
Stop trying to persuade drivers to buy wasteful vehicles, and start offering drivers a means to avoid wasting their time and money.
Offer me a safe and reliable non-flashy and non-distracting EV sedan, with no needless bells or whistles, at a price which puts the payments below my current monthly cost of gas, and you’ve got a sale.

What do I know about unions and labor strikes?My fav union story from my ILR days: everyone in ILR majors in Labor Relations, and a ton end up in Law School (where I thought I was going). One of the seniors (Al Davidoff)--the *biggest* LR fan --kinda disappeared after grad.
He was working as a Cornell janitor. He helped organize with the UAW, and was voted chapter president at 23. No one was shocked.

UAW Union Activist turns up for No Kings last Saturday

OpEd - No, I'm Not Going to #NoKings This Time
And neither should youA Declining Democracy
Mar 18, 2026Excerpt: "What does toppling the #oligarchy mean? It means boycotting the media, goods, and services they use to extract wealth from the rest of us. (See the #TeslaTakedown as a great example.) It means #activism to get state legislatures to enact #WealthTaxes. It means lobbying state legislatures to increase income taxes on the top 10% of earners. It means electing Governors and Mayors who adopt a #Mamdani / #AOC-like platform to alleviate the financial burdens of average workers/citizens. It means rejecting corporate centrism and any of their candidates, local or federal, who accepts money from PACs, particularly those that have effectively paralyzed representatives from voting against Israel or the NRA. It also means creating the networks that protect the most vulnerable: the undocumented, women who are being persecuted for exercising bodily autonomy or receiving life-saving medical care, and anyone, frankly, who isn’t white or Christian.
"So, where does one start? First, send an email to the No Kings organizers at [email protected] and explain why you won’t be joining this time or at any time in the future until they adopt a strategy with teeth:
- Protests must occur on weekdays and for multiple days at a time and to call it a #GeneralStrike.
- To use their clout to call for union leaders to have their union membership strike in solidarity.
- To call for their sponsors to contribute to a strike fund for non-union, hourly wage participants, offsetting the financial burden of participating in these actions.
- To have specific demands for our government:
* Remove and Prosecute Trump for his criminality, particularly as it relates to the sex-trafficking and rape of minors
* Abolish ICE
* Audit the 2024 election, restore voting systems where breaches have occurred, and implement federal voting rights statutes to ensure every voter is heard and every vote counted
* Ratify the Equal Rights Amendment across all 50 states, codifying women’s rights to vote, have equal pay, and access to reproductive health care.
* Adopt Medicare for All.
"Now, there is a #MayDay general strike being organized by the #UAW, but it’s being planned for 2028 which seems awfully far away and too late. I’m sure the idea was to do some union saber-rattling in the lead up to the 2028 Presidential election. However, the time to show some critical mass is right now, not two years from now, after heaven knows how much more crap this Administration will inflict or how much more suffering Americans will endure. No Kings has the numbers; why not just consolidate and do it sooner? "

Die Kampfansage der Autogewerkschaft #UAW an #Volkswagen in voller Länge.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=yzWXMPYc-tM"Und wann »findet« #VW Extra-Milliarden für die Arbeiter?
Volkswagen hat nichts übrig für seine Beschäftigten, aber Millionen für Vorstände und Milliarden für Großaktionäre.
[...]
»Volkswagen schert sich einen Dreck um euch und eure Familien«, stimmte er die VW-Mitarbeiter in Chattanooga auf den Kampf ein."

"#Volkswagen hatte im September ein 'letztes Angebot' an die Beschäftigten unter anderem mit einer Gehaltserhöhung von 20 Prozent und einer Einmalzahlung von 4.000 Dollar vorgelegt. [...] Danach bevollmächtigten die Arbeiter die Verhandlungsführer, einen Ausstand auszurufen, wenn sie dies für nötig halten."
Genau so wie die #UAW müssen #Gewerkschaften mit Managern & Aktionären umgehen. Wenn die drohen, direkt zurückboxen.

Die Autogewerkschaft #UAW in den #USA hat gegen die #Volkswagen-Manager & Aktionäre erkämpft:
- 20% Lohnerhöhung
- eine Bonuszahlung von 6.550 $ für alle
- niedrigere Kosten für die Gesundheitsversorgung
- einen besseren Kündigungsschutz
- mehr bezahlte Urlaubstage
- mehr Mitbestimmungsrechte im Unternehmen
- mehr Schutz gegen Überstunden & vor Willkür durch VorgesetzteRein in die #Gewerkschaften mit euch!

"#VW ist, wie jedes kapitalistische Unternehmen, in erster Linie eine Wertpumpe, die dazu da ist, Topmanager & Aktionäre zu bereichern; eine Bottom-up-Umverteilungsmaschine.
[...]
#Volkswagen schert sich einen Dreck um euch & eure Familien«, stimmte er die VW-Mitarbeiter in Chattanooga auf den Kampf ein. So hart das in deutschen Ohren klingen mag: Mit dieser Haltung hat die #UAW vor einer Woche u. a. einen Lohnzuwachs von 20% erzielt."
