300 million on the streets in a historic national strike in India That's 21% of India's population of 1.4 billion "One of the major demands of the strike was the withdrawal of the trade deals India has recently agreed to with the US and the EU. Farmers and workers in India have also been demanding the withdrawal of a series of laws brought by the Modi government, such as the electricity law, seed bill, and others, calling them pro-corporate and anti-people." https://peoplesdispatch.org/2026/02/12/300-million-on-the-streets-in-a-historic-national-strike-in-india/

General strike, Argentina "The bill limits the right to strike, reduces the bargaining power of unions and makes it easier for companies to fire workers by extending their probation periods and curbing their ability to sue employers when they are dismissed. The legislation also cuts Argentina’s traditionally high severance pay and empowers employers to mandate 12-hour workdays, up from the current eight." https://apnews.com/article/argentina-labor-overhaul-milei-trump-strike-f95f293bd7eefe3c00a4d3a0d7656a5c
