Of course, those people with critical jobs may still need to show up, such as police and power station engineers. I am not suggesting that these services be stopped.
Imagine the impression we could make by simply NOT SHOPPING for one week! Nothing other than the most basic items, such as milk and diapers. No restaurants, no movies, no special sales.
Imagine the relief on our environment (albeit for one week). Wall Street would freak out. The US Congress might actually wake up from their overbloated slumber. Our bosses might threaten to fire us, but then they would have to fire EVERYBODY, assuming we could stand together.
I am not talking about a communist or socialist revolution of any kind.
I am talking about taking a stand against the greed of Washington DC and Corporate America. Greed is killing us.
We need to show those in power that we the people control the economy, our government, and our futures.

Sorry, I thought I was talking to a more open, thoughtful group. I keep forgetting that philosophical discussions are rarely respected here.

Our economy would take such a blow that could quite possibly create an eventual depression.

It'd be the 21st century's version of October 29th, 1929. The strikers wouldn't accomplish anything by demonstrating that they are capable of destroying our economy!

Bad idea. Not everyone is unhappy with their jobs and their employers.
Many of us are self-employed. I guess you could be too. Those "greedy corporate types" aren't stopping you.
Besides, who do you know that can go without pay for a week?

Good thought process??? Right!
There's a distinct air of unreality in a "question" like this.
Time to grow up and engage the world as it really is, Binky. MUCH harder to do, I know, but also much more satisfying.
