Apart from this being, at best, a theoretical metalegal" but not real-life legal question and from the related fantastical factual premise of the above ruminations (i.e., that it is not culturally/politically unrealistic even in light of presently ongoing circumstances to posit anything close to a general strike in the U.S.), what provisions of the Taft-Hartley Act (whether as originally enacted or as since amended) or, for that matter, anywhere else in U.S. law make a "general strike" as that term is commonly understood "absolutely illegal in the U.S."?
