I don't want to disparage any of these specific demands, I agree with a lot (not all) of them, but put together they're so overly broad as to be a pipe dream. They might as well say they want to start a new political party that's slightly to the left of the Democrats.
The one thing that does stick out to me though is the Constitutional Convention. This is a bizarre ask, and it must be how they see their demands being passed into, not only law, but an amendment to the Constitution. The problem is calling a convention is so difficult† that their strike will last, essentially, forever. The last and only time we had a convention was in 1787.
