If everything was run like the railway labor act and indifference was considered no, we would have nothing in this country. Most folks for whatever reason don't vote. Imagine the propostion to help schools failing because even though 99% of the people said yes, only 40% of those who could voted. The railway labor act restricts work actions. Just because you have a union doesn't mean you will have rampant job actions. By the time the railway labor act allows you to strike, the companies have time to hire and train replacements. See NWA v AMFA. Unions make it harder for companies to take workers benefits on a whim, and put the profits in thier pockets

Reagan was right when he fired PATCO workers. There is a reason aviation and railroad workers cannot form unions.

Reagan sent a clear message that busting unions was okay. If unions really were the problem... all unions would have disappeared by now. Reagan was wrong!
PATCO took place back in 1981. It is now 2009, sum 28 years later, why are there still unions? Because unions had nothing to do with it. Unions didn't keep corporate America down. The cost of doing business in America is what corporate America wanted freedom from. It took twenty eight years for them to move it out of country. Unions were and still are the only group of workers fighting to prevent Corporate America from selling out America. Even at America's minimum wage, worker can't compete with what GM, Boeing, or any other U.S. manufacture can get it done for by exploiting 3rd world labor. The big glitch in the whole thing is... Who's going to buy your stuff when the whole world is poor? You see, there isn't a whole lot of thought process going here other than a few Greedy SOB's getting filthy rich before the whole thing collapses. Which is just about where we are. So what's the next big sales pitch?... A New World Order. Who's going to benefit the most from this? You got it... the world's richest. The rest of us will become servant class to the minority, if the majority does not unite/unionize, and take back what is rightfully theirs... The fruits of THEIR labor... It will become a world reserved for the rich... tended to by the poor. The way things are going the next big hiring boom will be in food tasters. Not sure what the longevity will be, but for as long as it last, you will at least eat good.
Pricilla, peel me a grape while I sit back and watch ROME burn.

<quoted text>When Reagan fired the controllers, and planes didn't collide daily, the teeth were pulled from the unions. There are unions which still have contracts that keep employers from boning employees on a whim. However any union that stikes especially in this economy has gotten thier members unemployed. Your strike now you are replaced by scabs and never heard from again.

Very true!
However, our choice was to strike / lockout, or vote yes and lose our jobs. There really wasn't much to think about. If your seniority number was more than 1200 you were pretty much out of a job. Manning the picket lines was a show of F.U. while we all figured out where we were going next. Nwa was already a far piece down road to BK. Most of us... thinking back on the 92 concessions... had decided if we were going to work for less... it was sure as hell going to be for someone else ! Walking the picket line, in the last months of 2005 was much easier than working for a company that went out of its way to show hatred for all of its employees. I would venture too say... That standing on the outside planning your new path, was much easier, stress wise, than working on the inside wondering when they'd come for you. Northwest was done the day checchi & wilson walked in the door. In hind sight... the AMFA mechanics and the cleaners, got the cleanest end of the Sh-t stick .

Independently? If that was the only subject that they preach word for word, from the Radio, we could agree with that assessment. Rush,Glen and Sean have an agenda and they preach it over and over to brainwash thinking. They talk out of both sides of their mouth..
