I am, in theory, pro-union. But yes, you are absolutely correct there. It should be handled just the way Ronald Reagan handled the air traffic controllers.
Side comment. It’s AFT President Randi Weingarten who is popping off there. It worth noting that the membership did NOT elect her, or any of the other top AFT officers. It’s all done through committees and delegates instead. For an organization that believes in democracy, their election procedures are quite Stalinist.
No government workers should have unions.
