I have been thinking along those lines too.
A general strike would work if there were enough numbers
(like more than half the work force)ready and willing to do it, and ALSO make sure they are protected both economically (stockpiles of food,etc.)and ethically (bosses who agree with them) so that they won’t be fired from their jobs, and Obama scabs hired, when the “strike” is over. How long would a strike like this last?
And just what would its “demands” be?
The BIGGEST problem is that this demagogue and his Administration want to control YOUR MONEY, and can do so through the very same means they can create “your money”.
THey don’t need you, or me, or us strikers, when economic power can merely be granted to whomever they wish to grant it to: a strike would be no threat to them. Think of how to answer these very important considerations. WIthout realistic answers and plans a strike is bound to sputter and die.

I dunno about this part at all. It would be a very, very luxurious situation for workers to be protected and not suffer due to strike action. There is a big downside to that game: the workers neither win nor lose by the outcome of the strike, so they are less dedicated to the strike’s objectives. OTOH if you stood to lose everything if the strike failed, you would try harder to make sure it succeeded. It would need to last until it succeeded, which could be a very long time.
