    That’s not the concern. A 24 hour strike isn’t a strike. That’s a protest. Most strike last for days or weeks because you want to get something out of the strike.

    A general strike doesn't last for weeks. A strike and a general striker different things.

    Striking workers are trying to change business decision, but if everyone participates in a general strike it causes enough damage in a day that it's effective. The threat is you'll do it again if things don't improve.
