I am a nurse and work at a hospital. I can’t even ethically participate in this as abandoning the sick is against our moral code. Imagine if there was no staff at your ER after getting clubbed, beaten and gassed at your General Strike Day Protest nor no one there for Meemaw who is half demented and needing hip surgery. I respect the ideal of a General Strike but this the US and we all live on a budgeting razor edge that has gotten more and more sharp since the morons elected this asshole.
You should perhaps read up on how general strikes function before taking the time to write out that word salad. You are not inventing the wheel here, it has already been invented long ago, and tested and tried out many times.
I would advise you look at past instances where general strikes were called, see what nurses did back then. And to be clear, i’m not saying i know the answer to that, just sayin that might be a good place for inspiration, whatever decision u make.
Hope you feel better soon!
There are such thing as medical personnel strikes. Typically, public sectors organize so-called “minimum services”, so they leave a minimum of people to stay in the hospitals / trains / buses for obvious reasons, and the rest go out to protest. A day with fewer nurses and doctors may be bad, but fascism is lethal too.
She’s right perhaps best to just keep working while the government slowly turn into a Nazi state.
Okay…
Stfu.
