Die Kommission ist befugt, die in Artikel 264 genannten delegierten Rechtsakte zu folgenden Zwecken zu erlassen: After the United Auto Workers effectively ended their strike against the major auto manufacturers last autumn, union president Shawn Fain urged other unions to prepare for a potentially stronger strike on May 22 and 23. Currently, labor advocates in the area are responding to Fain’s request by urging employees who are part of unions to adjust the end dates of their agreements to April 22, 2024, right before International Workers’ Day, also referred to as May Day. By coordinating the expiration dates of their contracts, unions could potentially increase their bargaining power by threatening to strike at the same time, potentially across multiple industries, which could give them more leverage in negotiations with employers. According to Fain, it is crucial that not only do we protest, but that we do so in unison. In order to support this goal, various labor councils in different regions of the country have recently approved resolutions in favor of Fain’s suggestion, urging their partners to attempt to adjust the timing of their contract negotiations. Most collective bargaining agreements have a provision that prohibits strikes during the term of the contract, so the end date of the contract is usually when a strike is most likely to occur. “I believe it is a courageous decision for unions to aim for more than just maintaining their current state.” Connor Lewis is the president of the Seven Mountains Central Labor Council.
