That whould typically involve unions. No need for them here though.
Unions are great for a lot of things but they’d be less inclined to help on this as they, don’t all support the same parties, and probably dont want their workers to violate any contracts as it would damage future negotiations.
I think isn’t a matter of labour and would be stonger without unions. It needs to be from the people.
I think they mean their “current union”. You’re right, of course, that they’d basically be forming a new union 😄 but I don’t know if it would be recognised in US law

It is a general strike, what you are suggesting. Whether you like the name or not.

You don’t need a union to strike, you can self organize and just do it

I think the word for workers self-organizing and advocating for their cause is... Union.
I mean there might be some other connotation to the word in US politics. But I think that's pretty much the definition of the term.
