I think the unions that are on strike should buy the company or plants. Let them become an employee owned operation, if current ownership wants to liquidate.

It would be interesting to see union bosses setting policy for the company.

I agree!! Think your policies can run a business better, Trumka? PROVE IT! Buy the company and run it!

That was tried several times in the past. Most of the time, it failed.

I believe the first one was the lathe plant, South Bend. They bought themselves out of bankruptcy, installed their own “management”, and after a few years, went on strike against themselves. They went out of business and were liquidated.
