It actually is okay. It's a free country. If any group wishes to withhold their labor, they should be free to do so.
The problem is the federal law that requires employers to rehire strikers after a strike is over. The workers are free to strike. The employers should be free to hire permanent replacements.
Gee 80k$ per year to do Nothing ain’t snuff I guess. Haven’t taken mass transit here in years. #1. Bike. # 2. Car. For lotsa stuff /2kds. Or long distance. Screw the bus BART all that crap. Get yerself where ya need to be that’s what I say.
I guess I have to post this for every individual Freeper who holds that view:
"All Government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service. It has its distinct and insurmountable limitations when applied to public personnel management. The very nature and purposes of Government make it impossible for administrative officials to represent fully or to bind the employer in mutual discussions with Government employee organizations. The employer is the whole people, who speak by means of laws enacted by their representatives in Congress. ... Since their own services have to do with the functioning of the Government, a strike of public employees manifests nothing less than an intent on their part to prevent or obstruct the operations of Government until their demands are satisfied. Such action, looking toward the paralysis of Government by those who have sworn to support it, is unthinkable and intolerable. It is, therefore, with a feeling of gratification that I have noted in the constitution of the National Federation of Federal Employees the provision that "under no circumstances shall this Federation engage in or support strikes against the United States Government.""
-- Franklin D. Roosevelt, "Letter on the Resolution of Federation of Federal Employees Against Strikes in Federal Service", 1937
