A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

In a world where the average household has <$500 worth of savings, you'd have problems implementing a general strike for 2 days, never mind 2 weeks. Good luck ya'll, I think the time for action was a while ago and I don't see this being feasible right now.
You can try to prove me wrong, but explain how these households are going to make it two weeks.
Need a spokes person, else it is a waste. Maybe we could vote on a small number of people to represent us? Maybe by region, maybe by industry.
It’s the best way to let them know what issues concern us most and what policies we like.
If I missed 10 days of work it would take me a year to recover. The oligarchs are sitting pretty and they know it. It would take an army of Luigis to change anything.
We can't just say "General Strike" on the internet and expect anything to happen.
This is why unions collect dues: so they can pay part of workers' wages and people won't lose their homes. We need to organize enough people in your workplace that your boss can't just fire you and hire someone else.
I am pro strike, but these pictures on the internet are just silly.
In the UK we missed the gernal strike because there are too many people making decisions for unions with egos. :(
With unions we can change things little by little. A 10 day strike isn't long enough to be effective though....
The goal of the strikes is to stop 10 days from ruining a person, because it never should take a year to recover that
