MICHAEL COLLINS, SCOOP, NZ - A general strike is proposed for the
United States on September 11, the sixth anniversary of the 9/11/2001
attacks on New York City and Arlington, Virginia. The general strike
movement has no clearly named leadership. . .
General strikes, more common in Europe, are events that shut down the
normal operations of a city, state, or nation for a period of time. . .
The General Strike is a national call to action, from citizens to other
citizens. It is not about a single issue. It is not an anti-war protest,
a civil rights protest, an election fraud protest. It is not about
torture, surveillance, corporate media, the 9/11 cover-up, or the
environment. This strike is about all these issues and more. . .
The Seattle general strike of 1919 is the first known city-wide general
strike in U.S. history. Failing to get promised wage increases, 35,000
ship yard workers were joined by 25,000 other Seattle union members for
a 6 day work stoppage. The 60,000 workers and their families represented
a huge portion of Seattle's 315,000 populations at the time.
The most recent U.S. general strike occurred on May 1, 2006 when
millions of Latinos hit the streets across the country. The Latino
population once, known as the sleeping giant of American politics, awoke
that day in a national effort that shocked and awed the U.S. political
elite. . .
