General Strikes

A general strike is a widespread work stoppage where a large number of workers from various industries and sectors collectively refuse to work. This form of protest often aims to bring attention to specific political, social, or economic grievances, demanding changes such as better labor conditions, wages, or social justice. Unlike regular strikes, which may involve specific groups of workers, general strikes unite diverse workers, emphasizing solidarity and broader issues affecting society. They can influence public opinion and put pressure on governments and employers to negotiate or take action on the strikers' demands.
