Air traffic controllers currently average $121,000 per year. I have no problem with it.
My problem is why they ever needed a union - and, likewise, why do we even allow unions in this country at all. Their day has long passed, there are laws and lawyers all over the place to take care of abused workers. And they can even quit if they don’t like how they’re treated, of if they think they should advance faster.
But people, even on this site, still defend unions...
Hear. Hear. And if we can't stop people from forming unions, we can certainly take away their government protections.
I was 30 in 1983 and didn't pay all that much attention to politics. I'd voted for Reagan, but it was when he shut down PATCO that I realized we had someone truly different as president.
