Anyone remember when Reagan broke the air traffic controllers’ union?
PATCO? Sure. All these nervous RNC types were urging caution, ‘bad idea!’ Leave the businesslike, you’ll be sorry and hurt us with the public, blah blah (sound familiar?)
So Reagan fires their illegally striking butts and comes out smelling like a rose as far as the flying public was concerned, and the GOP looked like weeping Boehners.
I think that’s what people like about Trump: he may be a loose cannon, but he’s also got balls like church bells.
Or Calvin Coolidge busting the Boston police strike, telling them no one has the right to strike against the public safety.
“The strike proved a setback for labor unions, and the AFL discontinued its attempts to organize police officers for another two decades.”
