[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 513348, member: 1664"] All unions are not created equal. The aircraft controllers union ( excuse me if I got their name wrong) signed a contract that they would never strike, do to national interest. They knew they were under an umbrella of government control. They called a strike and broke the contract. Now, put the shoe on the other foot. If the government broke the contract, all holy hell would have broke loose. What really happened was that Reagan was sticking to the letter of the contract, exact same tactic that the majority of unions call their strength. Reagan did not bust their union, they broke the contract and had to pay the penalty for dishonoring the agreement. This was the one and only time that Reagan stepped on the unions toes, but, this is always brought up of an example how evil he was against unions. So trpinkl, Reagan just did what any good president, ( of a union, or the USA) would have done. He enforced the contract. [/QUOTE]
