>>21028276reminder; this proposal is not for a general strike, but for a complete and total work boycott.
a boycott is different from a strike as it does not organize for negotiation or making demands, with a hierarchical structure or any structure at all for that matter. no information campaigns or talking heads are needed, because people will SIMPLY STOP SHOWING UP. we had enough of protests, petitions and making political demands. we had enough of political campaigns and legal motions. THIS IS FACELESS AND NAMELESS. WE ARE THE PEOPLE. IT'S LITERALLY OVER IF YOU JUST QUIT WORK UNCONDITIONALLY
this is how the boycott works:
- don't talk about your plans with your coworkers. don't mention it to anyone! let the effect speak for itself.
- don't let anyone know you are part of it
- don't post about it on social media!
- don't make lists with participants or chat groups
- don't set negotiation goals, don't start making (political) demands, especially not in public!
- don't link any public or political agenda to this (non-)movement!
- it's not illegal to boycott work!
- on day X, you simply stop showing up for work
- on day X, you call in to work and say "oh I'm sorry can't come today because ..."
- you might have an upset stomach, caught the flu, have a headache, back-pain, maybe you are tired or there is an emergency in your family
- you are "sick" for at least 1 week, perhaps even a whole month!
- anyone who tries to hijack this (non-)movement and put themselves up as some sort of leader shall have NO SUPPORT! NONE AT ALL!
- the talking heads on the public stage will have a hard time explaining what's currently (not) happening!
- don't take part in any activities in public! make yourself a nice time with friends and family and enjoy your time at home, after all you are "ill" and can't work!
- there will be no negotiations! no "please come back we will change stuff"! no "guess we'll just have to increase wages"! no more bullshit!
