Comment on UAW preparing the US for a general strike in 2028
CosmicCleric@lemmy.world 8 months agoA peaceful general strike would lead to military intervention in about 45-60 days I think.
But at the end of the day, how do you task society to forcibly work?
Everyone can just start taking sick days, what’s the Army going to do, go to door?

I’m speaking more towards if workers stay at home en mass, etc.

Action and motion are necessary to sustain life in a community, through distribution, protection, ans communication.
Nevertheless, whether workers are inside the home or outside, it seems reasonable to anticipate visitation by ACAB.

I don’t know, the optics of police literally going into people’s homes and pulling them out and forcing them to work doesn’t seem like something the government would want, no matter what.
