The General Strike is a grassroots network of regular people who know our greatest power is our labor and our right to refuse it."
The only kind of strike I'm familiar with is where employees strike to put pressure on their employers to do something the workers want. But this is about putting pressure on the government. How does a bunch of people striking from their various employers work as a means to that end?
Sorry if I'm being dense. I just can't quite get my head around this and would like to understand it better.
