You're right, and my initial claim that a General Strike would be
"absolutely illegal" was reflexive.  I'm still smarting over the TWU
strike here in New York City.  There would be no mention of unfair labor
practices in such an environment as would initiate a General Strike.  I
would point out that the general laws covering collective bargaining and
*ordinary* strikes are so odious that the idea of a General Strike is
much less plausible in the U.S. than, say, France.
