PATCO strike
(From Page 1)
porations, but public-sector strikes were
strikes against the public, it could be ar-
gued.”
So it’s harder for public-sector
unions to strike: They have to prove to
the court of public opinion that they
aren’t putting their own interest above
the public’s.
Whatever the reasons, strikes aren’t
just down in the United States; they’ve
been going down globally, across the
industrialized world, for 20 years.
Something profound has been happen-
ing to workers, McCartin says, and it
may be the most significant develop-
ment to unions since the 19th century.
The majority of U.S. workers would
like to have a union, according to polls.
But McCartin says they won’t act un-
less the potential rewards make unions
worth the risk. And the strike is labor’s
ultimate weapon for getting the goods.
“Without restoring workers’ ability
to use the strike,” McCartin said, “it’s
difficult to see how unions can be re-
vived.”
