30% of India’s labor is unionized.

90% of the unionized labor joined the strike.

ALL THIS INFORMATION IS IN THE LINKS I PROVIDED.

yes, close to 300,000,000 workers ―in a country of +1 BILLION― did not show up to work in India on the 12th of February of 2026.

THAT’S WHY IT IS HISTORIC AND NEWS WORTHY.

@blogdiva I should clarify that 600k is still amazing, but 300 million would be a group the size of almost the full population of the US and 20% the population of India.

Anatomy of a general strike: how workers in the Indian state of Karnataka shut down production : Peoples Dispatch

On February 12, as part of the All-India General Strike, 600,000 workers downed tools and almost 100,000 participated in street actions in South India’s largest state, Karnataka, whose government, ruled by the main bourgeois opposition in the center, is rushing to implement anti-labor laws legislated by the BJP.
