I wonder if they could be fired like Reagan did to the air traffic controllers...depends on the contract I guess, but if its in there the governor should fire them all...
“I wonder if they could be fired like Reagan did to the air traffic controllers.”
That was a challenge, but the country came through, MUCH BETTER because of President Reagan. He had to staff the towers, and all he had handy were non-strikers and the military controllers (who were needed at their bases also). But he did it. At the time, I lived in part of the “strike-belt”, later known as the “rust-belt”, and I remember the strikes very well. But once Reagan stood up to them, the strikes largely ended - they didn’t have to end, since PATCO was a public union and had nothing in common with the UAW, but somehow that was a turning point.
So the strikes, essentially, ended right then (or at least dropped by 90%), but the damage from the unions was far from over...as we have seen in the beautiful cities in China - whose people now buy nearly twice as many new cars as bought in the US each year.
There are AT LEAST 10,000,000 well-educated, retired, Americans, who could easily teach in our classrooms. THESE PEOPLE ARE REPLACEABLE and need to be replaced, when they act like this. Let’s get to work on it.
