"PATCO"

[Hopeful]

Never mind PATCO....Where was the might AFL-CIO when Lorenzo did his thing with Continental and then again with Eastern?

Where was the might AFL-CIO?

Anyone?

The only way I know how to answer your query is,

The airline industry and the mechanics in my opinion are just a small morsel in the AFL-CIO pie.

Had the mighty AFL-CIO seen the attack on labor beginning with PATCO, then onto Lorenzo, maybe, just maybe, things might have taken a different course.
Their passive attitude towards the airline worker came back to bite them in their arses tenfold.

They should've seen the beggining of the end when Reagan fired the controllers.
