This is some nonsense.

I think this funimendimentally misunderstands what a strike is and how it works. When collective bargaining works, it's because you can force a negotiation with an owner or boss. A group can prevent the business from making money until the owners come to the table.

Having a bunch of people walk off the job for a day might make some kind of statement, calling it a general strike is a bit embarrassing from my perspective. This is a protest of a sort, but with no clear message or goal
