Talk:2011 Oakland general strike

Untitled
How does this event meet the definition of a general strike? What reliable sources describing its impact after the fact say that it was really a "general strike"?  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  05:15, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
 * This looks live very sneaky POV. As far as I can tell, it wasn't a general strike despite the claims of its organizers, and there are RS explaining why not.  What should be done about it? Bkalafut (talk) 21:33, 16 May 2013 (UTC)


 * In (belated) answer to the query above: THIS seems sufficient to document the fact that this was a "General Strike" in intent and form — albeit one that was narrowly observed in practice. Carrite (talk) 01:40, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Woefully incomplete
There are several RS out there which detailed the role of intimidation of businesses in this demonstration, but this aspect doesn't get mentioned. The article feels very incomplete--as written this article is "revisionist" history. Maybe I'll get to adding to it.Bkalafut (talk) 21:41, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
