The North Carolina AFL-CIO passed a resolution at its September convention backing the call from the United Auto Workers for mass action on May 1, 2028. The resolution directs the state AFL-CIO to create a May Day Committee open to members of all affiliates, as well as invited individuals from other organizations, which could include groups like the North Carolina Association of Educators and United Electrical Workers Local 150, which has been organizing public sector workers throughout the state.
