Problem is keeping everyone on that message for long enough. Sure, it's possible to do that for like, a week, and realistically a week is all it would take. During the COVID Lockdowns, there were many companies that felt the pressure from everyone staying home, nobody buying anything, and they pressured state governments all over the country to lift lockdowns to get people back in. They're still fighting WFH because, if you think the residential real estate market is precarious, wait till you see the commercial market. All those companies that bought all that office space they can't fill. So, it's possible that a week of general striking is all it would take to cripple the entire private sector.
