Here's the thing about all of us in "right to work" states... If we sign an actual union card (not this made up general strike card that carries no weight with the NLRB), we have no protections and lose our jobs. The idea of "general strike" is nice, but I'd have to give up a job of 15 years.

I might call in sick for a single "general strike" day of protest, but I can't let my job know that's why. Wildcat strikes have no legal protections. And since my job isn't even union, it would result in instant termination. And I have a mortgage and bills, and a kid to feed.

Of course. That's very understandable. Just do what you can. If you have any idea or know how to look into contacts for generalstrike to contact these unions for better support, please share with them.

I'm just a factory worker in a very anti-union factory and right to work state. I really don't have any union contacts. And not in a position right now at work to have a target painted on my back. Head down, nose to the grindstone and I get to pay my bills.

Of course. I think most of us are regular folks trying to do something. you do bring valid points though.

Yeah, for me trying to do a union drive at my massive factory is a dead end, so I'm finding other viable ways to fight back.

When will your shoe drop? It’s going to be easy for a few people who are legally in the US to get abducted by the government, that has already happened.
Will someone you personally know have to be harmed? Think about it seriously. Reach out to any union in your state.

I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt here that a tattoo artist in New York has no idea how factory organizing in Texas works with a factory that the UAW won't even talk to after two miserable failures to get more than a couple hundred cards signed out of a workforce of 2000.
