The fact is the RLA does exactly what it it supposed to do. It keeps labor unrest to the transportation system at a minimum thus ensuring a reliable efficient system. Remember it's all about commerce, not your wages.

Now the loony left wants to tinker with the RLA with respect to ramp and service workers. We may all decry the RLA but imagine a country without it. It's easy if you try, just look at France and Italy. Every other day there is a transport worker strike. Does anybody want that here? Sometimes it's not about you. Like it or not the RLA benefits the nation as a whole. Doesn't do us much good, but it is bigger than us.
