    I see calls for it, but is there a start date and a primer on what it’d entail going around?

      IIRC some of the big unions are timing contract expirations to line up for a strike in 2028, but IMO we can’t wait that long.

        I think there are some legal limits to who can call a general strike and NOT go to prison. (Kind of doesn’t matter right now, as one can go to prison for being seen by the wrong people.)

        I agree that it’s waaay too long. I should look into it myself once I’m out of work. If I find more, I’ll link you!
