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 ❞ 🧵…

Today in Labor History February 19, 1948: Joe Ettor died on this date. Ettor was an IWW union organizer, who helped spearhead the Lawrence Bread & Roses Strike of 1912. "If the workers of the world want to win, all they have to do is recognize their own solidarity. They have nothing to do but fold their arms and the world will stop. The workers are more powerful with their hands in their pockets than all the property of the capitalists. As long as the workers keep their hands in their pockets, the capitalists cannot put theirs there. With passive resistance, with the workers absolutely refusing to move, lying absolutely silent, they are more powerful than all the weapons and instruments that the other side has for attack." Ettor was active in the 1907 Portland lumber strike, the 1909 McKees Rocks Strike, the Pennsylvania coal strike of 1909-10, and a Brooklyn shoe factory strike in 1910-11.
