Of course I have heard of the Railway Act, but I never understood it to prevent unions from striking. From what i understand, government employees are the only ones that are not allowed to strike.

All I was asking was when the strike started. I am hoping they do, because I am very interested to see what happens. I was not inviting all these slams that you people decided to throw on me.

As far as my previous posts, such as the post regarding Eastern, was gathered from information I researched in college, plus from a video I saw about the history of Eastern and airline deregulation. The video was very unbiased. Lorenzo alone was not the ONLY reason Eastern folded. The beligerant labor unions also had a factor in the demise of Eastern. Even then, Eastern probably wouldn't have survived the era of deregulation.

I respect you guys opinions, however, I do not appreciate the attacks. I would never belittle you despite that I may not share your beliefs.
