GENERAL STRIKE: A strike by a majority of the workers in key industries throughout a country in a particular region of the country. This type of strike is different in both magnitude and intent than that of a strike against a specific firm or industry. In particular, a general strike involves virtually every union regardless of industry or occupation.

Such a strike has been effectively used from time to time, but because it does shut down the economy and imposes hardships on almost everyone.
