My big question with a grassroots general strike is who negotiates for us? We'll all have different "good enough" goals that would get us back to work. Seems like we'd need a strong central leader speaking for everyone....

    Do you know of any strong central leaders?

    They rarely speak for everyone.

    A general strike is not for negotiations, but for pressuring the political establishment to acquiesce to particular demands.
