Aaron@lemmy.nz 1 day agoI was pretty sure I knew what a general strike was… wouldn’t any strike be more expensive than 2-4 hours of protest, and wouldn’t a general strike involve much more planning than a normal strike due to the scale and breadth?
Also I was worried that generalstrikeus.com was too soon. The UAW general strike is planned for 2028 to get time to plan, because a general strike isn’t something you can just do successfully at the drop of a hat.

Yes it would. That’s why they’re having people fill out strike cards and waiting until they actually have that organization before they set a date

This was the bit that I think scared me at first. It’s not suggesting “Stop working now, and stay out of work until we get 10 million members and then Congress acts and then everything’s fixed”. More like “Add your name to a list, and WHEN there’s mass agreement, take the plunge so that there’s too many people for businesses to replace.”
