I’ve been thinking just how difficult it would be to coordinate a full national general strike, or even a statewide one. It seems like a possible way forward would be to target worker groups that would have a domino affect on other groups. For example, if you could get teachers, especially elementary level teachers, to strike, many of their parents would need to stay home due to lack of child care. I’m wondering if there are other union based groups that could have a similar effect.
