you can't just organize a general strike on the fly, and this is an actual one with actual backing from unions that's been organized since well before our current issues. and currently it's a struggle to even get many unions to align their contracts in a way that would be conducive to the date (since that's not a thing you can just do, you have to negotiate that), so it's not even a guarantee that the over three years of lead time given is sufficient.
