Where have you been for the last five decades? Conservatives have been using this argument for at least that long. When air traffic control persons tried a slowdown they were summarliy fired by Reagan to much applause from the Right. Conservatives have been using every argument against Unions EXCEPT for the Police Union. Just this past year in Wisconsin the Public Union employees were stripped of many of their rights EXCEPT for the Police. They were given special exemption. Why is that do you think?
