Americans dont even know what a general strike is much less how to organize one.
My public school education glossed over unions and I've met incredibly few people who are a member and even fewer who support them.
No, I didn't mistype. I have met union members who don't support unionization and just complain about the dues they pay. I don't blame them (yes I do) so much as feel pissed off for them even if they wouldn't understand why.
It's reportedly way worse. And Bolivian president left the country they say
Americans paying attention

The president did not leave the country and the news is incorrect.
