End Goal of a Hypothetical Mass Strike

Let's just say for a moment we all agreed to go on strike. I'm imagining it starting the week of the 4th of July, lol. What's the end goal? What are we striking for? For example, I'd want to see: a minimum wage equal to the Cost of Living x 1.1 with yearly raises based on inflation to the CoL businesses fully funding health benefits and those benefits including preventative care, illness, injury, dental, and vision a minimum of four weeks of paid time off every year for all workers that's separate from sick pay, which would be a minimum of two weeks a year (all PTO offered in full upon hire) a maximum income equal to the Cost of Living x 20 (roughly a 20:1 income ratio of the highest to lowest paid) the nullification of all training repayment agreements, non compete clauses, and any clause that may act…

For example, I'd want to see:

  • a minimum wage equal to the Cost of Living x 1.1 with yearly raises based on inflation to the CoL
  • businesses fully funding health benefits and those benefits including preventative care, illness, injury, dental, and vision
  • a minimum of four weeks of paid time off every year for all workers that's separate from sick pay, which would be a minimum of two weeks a year (all PTO offered in full upon hire)
  • a maximum income equal to the Cost of Living x 20 (roughly a 20:1 income ratio of the highest to lowest paid)
  • the nullification of all training repayment agreements, non compete clauses, and any clause that may act as such
  • restricting businesses from reducing wages during worker training and requiring businesses to provide adequate training for workers
  • requiring businesses to provide work equipment and restricting businesses from selling equipment to their employees

From what I've observed, I think most people on this thread may agree to something along these lines as workers' demands in a hypothetical mass strike.
