Organizing such a huge strike would be an uphill battle in the States. People across a lot of different industries and regions and political persuasions would have to cooperate--form a set of commonly agreed to demands and then cooperate on a strike.
Historically (I looked it up) the largest strikes in U.S. history was the strike waves of 1945-46 with about 5 million workers taking part.
FWIW, the president of the UAW has called for a general strike on May 1, 2028. That is when their contracts with the big three automakers expire. They are urging other unions to coordinate their contract terminations with that time and to join them. (And for non-union workers to organize before that time.)
Yeah it probably wouldn't happen here, because we can't agree on anything. And nobody seems to know what has caused the inflation, plus many businesses and organizations are profiting from it.
Maybe we could use a strike like that here in the States to protest Inflation......
