Yeah but throwing a little fit and implying that his union leadership and fellow members are spineless is crass, compounded by the fact that he has a GCE on how it works for HIS union.
If he had simply asked WHY they get to strike, somebody would have cheerfully answered the question. But instead he went off half-cocked.
Hopefully he's an isolated case.

Now we're spinless because the RLA has our hands tied? Actually my shop had an overwhelming response, and we might have actually been allowed to walk. Although we all knew it wouldn't last a week if that.

Didn't argue with that part.
