i dont think direct approaches are always a good idea. (maybe i'm wrong)
you could slow down your pace of work leading up to and after black friday. it's not the same as striking but it's easier to do. people want everyone to strike without regard for the context or consequences. i suggest lighter and more sustainable things. slow down and then if there's consequences then unite to hold that ground. everyone agrees that we should have the right to work slower if we need to. forcing the pace is rediculous and everyone agrees on that. (with the rare exception of if work is already super slow). if the pace of work is tightly controlled, then that sucks and you should definitely 'strike' or sonething to break that obstruction.
striking is good too. so maybe im wrong. im just offering an alternative which i hope appeals to people who would see it as binary strike or nostrike.
I never thought of slowing down work before. Interesting idea.
