Q: “If we cannot then why?”

A: The Taft-Hartley Act makes secondary strikes illegal, and effective general strikes next to impossible. If all else fails, the President can intercede to force the strike to end.

Q: “What are the cultural inhibitors if any?”

A: The main barriers are legal, not cultural. If there’s a major cultural issue, it’s the degree to which union bosses have sold their workers out in order to gain favors from the State.

Q: What kind of organizing needs to happen?

A: Free the Unions (and all political prisoners)!

What better way to start than by wildcatting a general strike against Bushism and complacent union bosses? Do you think it might work?
