    A general strike is meant to force the ruling elite as a whole, not just one or two employers, to capitulate to the organizers’ demands. It twists the government’s arm in the same way a normal strike twists the arm of the employer.

      I get that part, but what are the demands? It seems odd to me to plan a strike before identifying the reason for the strike.
