Re: What if questions (4.00 / 5)
In the US, sympathy strikes are illegal. In other words, people are not allowed to strike for reasons unrelated to their own contracts of employment. I think the Taft-Hartley Act (1947) makes a General Strike illegal.

The last time there was a general strike in the US was in 1934, but the US has never had a strike affecting the whole country. The 1934 strikes were localised.
