Note he fires them while supporting the union movement Solidarity in Poland. Totally sick. The beginning of the capitalist destruction of democracy.
- nerdponx 6y agoMore like its revival as an "open" movement, which had been operating somewhat quietly behind the scenes since the early 20th century.
- e2021 6y agoDon't think this is true. From wikipedia it seems like this was a pretty straightforward dispute over pay and conditions.
- wyldfire 6y agoI misread the GP comment that way too. IIUC, GP says that Reagan is inconsistent: firing US air-traffic controllers on strike, but supporting foreign workers on strike.
- imglorp 6y agoPoland was yet another proxy activity pushing back the Soviets and communism. As Regan showed, it's never about the workers.
- visiblink 6y agoThe destruction of an entire union by a former union president (Screen Actors Guild). That's some irony for you.

- tim333 6y agoIt's odd to equate supporting Solidarity in Poland with the destruction of democracy. I seem to recall the effect was in the other direction.
