    I don’t understand how they can force people back to work.

    Like, will they have cops on the flights making sure the attendants put on a cheery safety briefing?

    Will they drag them onto the plane in handcuffs to do safety checks?

      This is usually “enforced” through fines, since unions are institutions that can be held liable for these decisions. Ultimately unlawful job action might end up leading to lawful termination though, so it takes a lot of courage to do what they’re doing.

      Reagan was famous for busting air traffic controllers in the 80’s… He literally just fired everyone and replaced them.

        and just the railroad strike was broken by congress recently in the same way too, by making it illegal, but with minor concessions.

      « They » will tried to prove that Union Leader said that workers shouldn’t go back to work and defy the order, which they did not. Anyway that’s not the goal here, they will force the Union to go to court which will cost money to the union and the taxpayers for a judge to say what we already know : the Liberal gov overstep. Now the gov will probably not be obligated to pay the Union legal council which make them poorer.

      This shit will take months maybe years
