A general strike was convoked by a small union (as it is their right) and basically no one seconded the strike.
I don’t think I could, on good faith, call it a general strike if basically no one stopped working. Was a very minoritarian thing. General strike was called as it is a right unions have, but if workers decide not to follow there’s not a real strike to talk about.
