Without a doubt it will harm the economy, their goal. OTOH, these unions are so intertwined with the Democrats could be a huge backlash. The 'goals' of the strike are a litany of social justice/BLM demands.

Again, this is the same old song and dance we always hear with some new “anti-racism” initiatives added in for 2020 flavoring.
“Divest from the police” = Defund or abolish the police.

“Cash assistance” = Universal basic income for those unable or unwilling to work

Dem Unions Planning Strikes Over Social Justice… Just In Time For The Election

Thus far there’s no official announcement or projected date, but some of the staunchest allies of the Democrats are cooking up one of the most shamelessly political maneuvers I can ever recall seeing in an effort to squeak out a win in November. With Joe Biden’s poll number slipping in several critical states, a collection of labor unions have issued a letter (https://apnews.com/02da00cb921ec61a69d8a30c9ff56244) calling for a general, national strike to obtain “racial justice” and to support the Black Lives Matter movement. You don’t need to look much further than the list of unions signing on to this scheme to see what’s going on. But the net effect, if they manage to pull this off, would be another gutshot to the economy just as we roll into the final couple of months before voters go to the polls. (Associated Press)
