Cant they just all collectivly go on strike? There was no such thing as agreements when unions started.
- That's exactly what they want, a massive strike that they can blame for all the economic problems caused by bad management. Trump wants to pretend that he's running the country like a business, but he has the goldenest of parachutes. So he will crash the country into a depression and say "see? this is why unions are a problem."
  
  And then the true nazi-style scapegoating will go in full swing
  Really following the playbook here
- [gestures broadly to Regan and the ATC strike]
  
  Yeah, but thats just air traffic control. The situation is also very different now with DOGE eliminating any trust in job stability, and many looking for a way out anyeays since the perks of working as a fed are erroding anyways. They simply cant fire everyone, because they already fired too many people.
  Regan was able to backfill the controllers with the military in the interim. Thats simply not possible for every job that exists in the government.
  The alternative is to give up on unions altogether because if they have no teeth then there is no point paying dues.
- Yes
would someone tell the trump administration it's sexier if they make the union take it off slowly
it's really sexier if they leave it all on, but they might buy the analogy
