Part of that was the Unions fault. When he fired all the air traffic controllers, every union member should have walked off the job in solidarity. Instead, I know in my union, most of them bitched because they thought the strikers made good enough money and had more benefits than they did, so tough luck! When the company I worked for, back in the 50’s, refused to negotiate a contract, they called for a general strike. And union members throughout the county would not cross the picket line and many went out in sympathy. Many of our older members when I first started working there had been beat up and/or spent time in jail during that strike. That is how unions are supposed to work and why they were successful.

@Barnie2years Good story. The union saved my job many times as I made "good trouble". Resulted in an early retirement. Living large is the best revenge. Which is the "lord's" anyway.
