I get the whole Ides of March thing but please pick a weekday for a general strike. This is essentially forcing low-wage workers whose positions are more precarious to stop working while white-collar workers basically do nothing.

Low-wage workers work on weekdays too. And they will often get fired for missing work for any reason, not just protesting.
