So the judge should have ignored the law and ruled to keep the jobs? How very Democratic of you. Judges should call balls and strikes regardless of the consequences.

You're right. The judge was constrained by the law, and the clauses that were agreed to in the two contracts cited were not to be ignored. The union could have negotiated a better outcome but the judge had no choice but to follow the law. Or would you rather that judges make their own law as they 'feel' .

The best solution was to not sign those contracts in the first place, but that's 20-20 hindsight.

You may have a point, judging from other comments too. If so, sorry. But I don’t mind jumping to conclusions, as that is what the left does, and unless we start to play at their level, we’ll continue to be defeated.
