No in this case the Union was on the money and right to go out on strike. What Frank Lorenzo was doing was taking the assets of Eastern Airlines and giving them to Continental Airlines it was theft plain and simple within the airline industry Eastern Airlines was on the cutting edge of everything technology wise. One little thing that you might have missed Frank Lorenzo married into the Rockefeller Family so when he said that in a few years that the airline industry would have only 3 or 4 years he knew a lot more than we gave him credit for.
If someone were ever to try to tell me that there were corporate CEOs that WERE NOT corrupt, I wouldn’t believe it. Same with the big unions. I really don’t care what they were striking about, just that the union was not there for the workers, continued to line their fat pockets and walked away, leaving thousands of workers in the lurch.
I hate the unions and see them as part of the problem...maybe the biggest part and now, can point to the teachers’ unions as stellar examples of corruption and the ruination of generations of kids.
