Comments
The President has allowed the whole federal workforce to go on strike and some people to still work without pay. Conversely, government workers should be allowed to strike without quitting their jobs.
FDR ,hardly a right winger,warned about gov unions.The taxpayer winds up the loser.
The right to strike is an important tool for the workers to help level the playing field in negotiations with management. It should be protected.
