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.

❝ 300 million workers just shut down India.

The largest strike in human history, and most of the Western media barely whispered it. That silence is complicity in Modi’s war on workers’ rights.

India’s general strike is the future that the billionaires and ruling class fears most ❞ 🧵…

wow. imagine of ameriKKKans actually got their shit together and went on strike together? it might look something like this massive strike (that NO ONE is talking about) in India!

Thursday and Friday of this week (19-20th February 2026) another historic 24hr #generalStrike happened in #Argentina; and of course #USA media downplayed the fact more than 400 commercial airline flights had to be cancelled because “dozens” or workers protested on the streets and "a few thousands" stayed at home to protest Milei’s evisceration of labor protections.
