Refusing to deduct union dues from some city workers paychecks.
Firing bus drivers who called an informal strike.

Wow! That is surely one buried news story.
I suspect news reporters are afraid if they really report on this,
and ask Mayor Bing where he got the courage and idea to do this...
he might just say “I asked myself what Ronald Reagan would do”.
As in how to deal with “public servants” that go on strike, a la PATCO.
Liberal news reporter would not want to report that...it might give
some other mayors a bit of spine.
Make no mistake, Dave Bing is a true democrat but he’s a democrat who earned his money the hard way. He was turned down for a mortgage by a bank and instead of screaming about racism he took a job with the bank during the NBA off season.
It should be noted that Ronald Reagan awarded Bing the National Minority Small Business Person Of The Year in 1984.
It was that firing that put the USSR on alert that this man meant business...Some soviet big wig made that statement after the fall of the soviet union...
