The issue with calls for general strikes in the US is that they’re not organized at all. We need representatives in every workplace that can make sure people know when to strike, and won’t be retaliated against for striking. These unions can then coordinate the strike with other workplaces so that the strike has the biggest impact.
Incorrect. We had union buy-in from over 100+ unions. We had business owner buy-in as well, bringing the total to 700+ businesses closed during the strike. The organization was grass-roots, fast, and actually gave people the time to get behind it. This one is… not as organized and its got me worried.

A general strike happened in Minneapolis without that level of organization.
