Depends where you work, I suppose.

Is it better to skip work entirely or go and just goof off? Probably the former?

No call no show sends a stronger message if you’re privileged enough to be able to do that. If not, call in sick. Or go-slow all day. Do what you can.

My European mind can’t comprehend this. Strikes are a right for every single worker, even the most unprivileged ones (with very few exceptions for public safety reasons)

To elaborate on the situation in The Netherlands: You can only strike when certain conditions are met. In short, you use it as a final measurement to force your employer to change something if other less radical measurements were ineffective.
In this case, most employers have absolutely no influence over whatever ICE does, so I’d highly doubt a strike would be ‘allowed’ for something like this over here in The Netherlands.

It’s illegal not to show up to work? I mean on the picket line maybe. But a general strike is more about not showing up than demonstrating. What are they going to send soldiers house to house and force you to go to work at the point of a bayonet?

Like nurses, firefighters… but that’s exactly fucking why you have multi-industry unions. So when nurses need a raise, engineers can strike on their behalf.

This is why every time deregulation in general comes up, I suggest we start with the Taft-Hartley act.

But even in Europe you can get backlash for it especially in a very small business. That’s why it only really works when its organised and everyone is participating.

So like… a general strike? :)

I’m from Italy. Here general strikes are common.

People who can strike should also go to places of work that people can’t and contribute to sit-ins and slowdowns.
