Hate to burst your bubble buddy but the illegal aliens that Reagan gave amnesty to burst the Union's power, which was waining to begin with. Not to mention all of the counter-productive contracts with the Mafia.
Oh, the Carpenters and Joiners on the West Coast are full of illegals now. So their pensions are going to people who stole our birth-right.
I think Reagan fully knew what he was doing. He probably had a whole bunch of people sitting around screaming about their flights. Unions don't have a right to hold the public hostage because they want more money. Besides, a closed shop is just an excuse to send a job to China. A good trade unionist doesn't need one.
I find it hard to believe that you'd be against guns, when the history of the labor movement is full of incidents where state militias, private contractors, police, scabs, and pinkerton men beat, shot, and stabbed Union men, women, and children at the behest of the gang banksters. The ones that didn't get killed where the ones who organized and fought back, WITH FIREARMS!
