General strikes that involve the whole population are super rare. I could see something like the one in 1989 in Czechoslovakia where it was for two hours on one day only. The problem is that general strikes are usually organized through unions and there simply isn't that structure for most of the country.

Unions are key for sure when you want coordination. That should not stop us thiugh.
