On Tuesday, May 1 2012 (May Day), the Occupy movement has a series of events planned [1] designed to reinvigorate their movement. That includes the call for a general strike.

None of it is going to work too well: they're still the same people they were before and they still have the same problems as before. They're just repeating failed ideas, hoping for a different result (see Occupy Wall Street for the background).

For instance, the plans of the Los Angeles branch [2] are delusional in an entertaining way:

Occupy Los Angeles is organizing around a "4 Winds" People’s Power Car and Bike Caravan through the urban sprawl of Los Angeles that will culminate in Direct Action in and around the Financial District of downtown LA. People from all sectors of the city will have a chance to plug in to the routes from any corner of the city, helping to shut down the flow of capital while addressing the 99%’s major grievances... Flash occupations, food giveaways, and other direct actions targeting the foreclosure crisis and police brutality will be undertaken at these flashpoints on our slow, city-paralyzing, carnival-esque descent into the center of the city... After a day of actions and outreach that cripples capitalism in the city, Occupy Los Angeles will be hosting a special General Assembly at 7PM

The only thing that's going to do is to make drivers really, really, really mad and turn people against them.

The New York City branch shows yet again that the Occupiers don't represent the interests of most Americans but are more like ANSWER. They're making "immigrants rights" (actually giving illegal aliens new rights they aren't entitled to) a key part of their events [3]. The problem is that puts OWS on the same side as big banks, Michael Bloomberg, the Koch family, Grover Norquist, and many others. Almost all elites support massive or illegal immigration, and it's one of the things that sharply divides them from most Americans. It's also one of the areas where the elites are most vulnerable.

Instead of standing with most Americans on immigration, the Occupy movement stands with the big banks they claim to oppose. The elites of the U.S. and other countries very strongly oppose attempts to encourage illegal aliens to return home (via attrition). The leaders of the Occupy movement are on their side, not on the side of low-wage American workers negatively impacted by illegal immigration.

[3] From their press release:

On Thursday, April 26th, representatives of dozens of immigrant, community and labor organizations, along with organizers from the Occupy Wall Street movement, will gather to unveil plans for a massive and historic May Day rally to take place on Tuesday, May 1st at 4PM in Union Square. After months of careful planning, a diverse and united coalition has finalized plans to gather under the banner of “LEGALIZE, ORGANIZE, UNIONIZE”, demanding an end to the criminalization and exploitation of immigrant workers, and the stranglehold of the 1% on communities across the city, state and country. The program for the day will include community speakers, cultural performances, music, food, and celebratory activities for the entire family, including face-painting for children.

Those signing on include:

May 1st Coalition (note: might be the group here, which worked with Ramsey Clark's International Action Center), Labor union representatives, La Fuente, New York Immigration Coalition, New Immigrant Communities Empowered (NICE), El Centro de Inmigrante, National Institute for Latino Policy, Mothers on the Move, National Lawyers Guild, Occupy Wall Street Immigrant Worker Justice Working Group, Occupy Wall Street en Espanol, Occupy Wall Street Latin America, National Lawyers Guild (note: a repeat), Community Farmworker Alliance, Coalition of Immokalee Workers, Adelante Alliance, Jornaleros Unidos, Families for Freedom, Restaurant Opportunities Center-NY, Domestic Workers United, New York Taxi Workers Alliance, Laundry Workers Center United, Brandworkers International, Independent Workers Movement, La Pena del Bronx, Centro Guatemalteco Tecun Uman, Philippine Forum

Those are far-left groups that one would find at an ANSWER rally; OWS is just a far-left group and not one that represents most Americans against the elites.
