for context: Shawn Fain has been pushing for this since at least the beginning of 2024. so by the time the date happens, he will have been organizing this for over four years--that is the kind of lead time you need for this to not just be toothless posturing (and there's a decent chance it still won't be nearly as sweeping as you might expect of a general strike due to low US union density).
