It would definitely be a nightmare but he could possibly try to replace them. It would be a disaster for him of course. But it turns out this agreement was not what we were told as far as being what the workers wanted.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't they all lose their jobs due to a strike when they were told by the Government to return to work?

The flight controllers were all fired. I don’t know anything about Eastern airlines, flew on them once when I was a kid.

I'm pretty sure something with Eastern's demise was strike related, maybe the mechanics?

Maybe not a strike
On January 18, 1991, Eastern Airlines (EAL) ceased operations. The death of what had once been one of the largest airlines in the free world was brought on by years of labor strife, a high debt load, and an inherently unstable north-south route structure.

All were fired. The Union was fined and went bankrupt. Clinton reversed the no hire when he was elected and some were rehired eventually. But, most were replaced.

Teamsters president’s message to railroad workers: Stop “complaining” about union betrayals to “outsiders”
No matter how shamelessly the union officialdom sells out workers, they are not allowed to air their grievances except “in-house,” in narrowly confined channels where they can be controlled and smothered by the bureaucracy.

Good work JoeThe union's rejection means that now they're in what's called a "status quo" period that will run until Nov. 19 — five days after Congress is scheduled to come back to Washington. A strike would not come before then. Congress could prohibit a strike and force unions to accept the deal.A second railroad union votes down Biden's tentative agreement
