According to Payday Report’s Strike Tracker, we have now found that unions will be hosting walkouts in at least 65 cities across the United States. Hundreds of unions are involved, and the list is growing as groups like Indivisible lead their support to the movement. (See our most recent story “May Day General Strike Movement Continues to Grow”)
This shows that the movement is growing rapidly, with hundreds of local unions and community groups signing on to support the group.
The list is still growing, and we would appreciate it if you could email melk@paydayreport.com with any tips on the growing movement

Help Raise $6,000 to Track May Day Strikes
While the corporate media is ignoring the May Day Strikes, Payday Report is one of the few publications covering preparations for these massive May Day Strikes.
During the pandemic, we got the corporate media to pay attention to the massive strike wave. The Washington Post even gave us credit in a front-page story for our strike tracker.
During the Minnesota General Strike in January, Payday Report was one of the first publications to cover how a call by 5 unions would likely grow into a bigger movement. The corporate media, at first, ignored the growing support for the Minnesota General Strike, downplaying its likelihood to succeed.
However, on January 23rd, Minneapolis went out on a general strike with support from major labor federations across the state. Over 100,000 marched in -30 temperatures as major school districts, and at least 700 businesses closed across Minnesota. More than 300 solidarity actions were held nationwide, according to Payday Report’s strike tracker.
At least 23% of Minnesota voters said either they or a loved one participated in the strike in some way, according to a survey of 1,900 registered Minnesota voters conducted by Blue Rose Research for the May Day Strong coalition. The coalition consists of various labor and community organizations advocating for a mass nationwide walkout on May 1st that is expected to grow in the coming days.
We believe something big is building around May Day, and it's crucial that we track this growing movement so others are inspired to get involved. Donate today to help us track it.
