In the fifth century BC, there was a secessio plebes in Rome - a strike - which won demands for the plebians.pleasant. In 1877 there was a nationwide railroad strike in the US which was put down by federal troops - it failed in the short term but led to some more scraps being doled back to workers. It is feasible, but industry wide strikes don't just happened. Companies can move software jobs overseas easier than factories, so international solidarity is important - something US labor has notoriously been poor at. It can happen, but a lot of work and time and effort and defeats would happen first. It starts on a small scale, with an enormous amount of effort to build up. The momentum of the past 75 years have been things going in the other direction in the US.
