re: #92 Dark_Falcon

You’re focusing on one tree while missing the rest of the forest. Reagan may have been in an intractably shitty situation wrt PATCO, excusing what otherwise looked like a reckless and hasty decision.

But regarding the existence and viability of unions in general, Reagan actually did quite a lot of damage. He was no friend of unions. Like his party, he generally pursued and supported policies that weakened most unions across the nation. He was a “right to work” guy. Meaning the guy who was once president of a union (SAG in his “acting” days) thought they were great for people like himself. But for others, not so much.
