General Strike

A general strike is a widespread work stoppage where workers from multiple industries and sectors collectively halt their jobs to protest or demand change, often to improve working conditions or influence government policy. Unlike a strike by a single group, a general strike involves many groups acting together, which can significantly disrupt society and press for large-scale reforms. It typically requires strong organization and unity among workers and can serve as a powerful political or social statement to draw attention to core issues affecting the broader population.
