Reply #6: General Strikes haven't been attempted. [View All]

[MessiahRp]

I think the next step in WI is to go forward with the SSC recount and get the recalls for the State Senators going. If those measures fail it's time to plan and execute a long term general strike of public and all union employees. Like I have said to others, Walker and the GOP can pretend they would pull a Reagan all day long but they wouldn't have the guts to fire everyone.

Walker would not fire every teacher, police officer, firefighter, corrections officer, librarian, or other state employees all at once. The system would collapse and once non-union employees' jobs were impacted by not having a school for their kids to go to and losing out on other vital services people would be ready for a massive coup. He couldn't find enough private contractors to fill all those jobs and certainly not quickly and it would cause a deathblow to the Republican Party in Wisconsin.

A General Strike by all union workers is the one ace we have in our back pocket, so if all other remedies come up short, we need to toughen up and be prepared to play it.
