It shall be an unfair labor practice for a labor organization or its
agents—
...
to engage in, or to induce or encourage any individual employed by any
person engaged in commerce or in an industry affecting commerce to
engage in, a strike or a refusal in the course of his employment to use,
manufacture, process, transport, or otherwise handle or work on any
goods, articles, materials, or commodities or to perform any services;

But this is the notorious "secondary boycott" language--the heart of that fascistic stature.  It has nothing to do with a political general strike--which would be a far more serious matter than "an unfair labor practice" (see under *terrorism*, *sedition*, *insurrection*).
