    What is the point of the general strike? Presumably each union and non-union-but-cooperating-workforce will have different goals.

      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.
