Jacobin Magazine is reporting in an article titled:  A General Strike to Stop Trump? Some Unions Are Saying It’s Time. "The Rochester, New York labor council recently resolved to “prepare for and enact a general strike of all working people” if Trump tries to steal the election. The rest of the labor movement needs to pay attention — labor can help stop an authoritarian power grab if unions start making plans right now....
