    Would it though?

    Firstly, the general population is stretched so financially thin that a 10 day strike is unaffordable for most

    Now, ten days to bring everything to a halt sounds great. But unless it’s coordinated in certain areas, then there’s just a freeze on everything. Remember the COVID pandemic? Even if only certain areas strike, the situation is so bad that alot of jobs would be covered.

    Secondly, do you honestly believe that the general population is selfless enough to not place any e-commerce, online services or any sort of digital product purchases within that 10 days? No.

    Lastly, what happens after those 10 days? The whip comes out, there’s catching up to do.
