This issue was addressed in the 80's when the PATCO air traffic controllers protested the lack of training and forced overtime that led to mistakes caused by overworked controllers.
Ronald Reagan solved that problem. He fired the PATCO Union Workers and hired scabs to fill their positions with out fixing any of the PATCO issues. (And Conservatives Cheered) Today those scabs are falling asleep for the same issues that the UNION did.
The issues of overworked and forced overtime just got worse and today you are posting about the Conservative Fix to a pressing problem that won't go away.
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. John Kenneth Galbraith
It must be Reagan's fault that these guys fell asleep. But the bigger question is: are THESE PEOPLE IN A UNION THAT PROTECTS SUCH MALFEASANCE?
YES. They ARE!
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
NATCA is affiliated with the AFL-CIO union slobs...Must be making them proud...
Blame Reagan...THE GUY IS DEAD...HE HASN'T BEEN IN OFFICE FOR THE LAST 24 YEARS!! Why didn't Clinton fix it during his 8 years? How about Obama, he's been in for 3 years?

Nahhh...Of course...Blame Reagan...
There is blame... and there is cause and effect.
The time to fix the problem was in the 80's when it first surfaced... they fired PATCO and thought the problem would go away... it didn't and now still needs the same fix that was needed then... Shorter work weeks (even if it means a cut in pay) and better training for emergency situations.

the time to fix the public school problem was 40years ago
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS

UNIONS AND THE PAST LEADER'S AND THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES....apparently we are blaming the past leaders for the traffic controllers shortcomings.....how about the lack of future outlook and needs by our public school system?

How does better training stop them from texting (when they KNOW it is against the rules) and sleeping (when they KNOW it is against the rules)???????????????????????
The liberal's only answer is to tax and spend more. Forget ENFORCING RULES or FIRING INCOMPETENTS. THAT would make sense and would NOT BANKRUPT AMERICA. The liberal's solutions are to BLAME THE LACK OF SPENDING, SOMEWHERE, AT SOME GOVERNMENTAL LEVEL. NEVER to blame the actual malfeasers.

It is imperative that these jobs be UNION jobs for there is no doubt that Unions will provide better trained and better disciplined workers.. the nayboob idiots who think otherwise can GFT
