The Occupy movement's call for a general strike on May 1 raises important questions about what coordinated workplace resistance can look like today in the United States, at a time when much of traditional organized labor has been weakened.

Can a strike be an end in itself, rather than a means of winning certain demands? How can precarious workers participate in a strike if missing work isn't an available option?
