20. The irony of that subject line is well merited!
Edited on Sat Oct-14-06 12:35 PM by pnorman
Most of the other unions looked the other way (in the manner of the "neighbors" of Kitty Genovese, so many years ago, and THEY ARE PAYING FOR IT TO THIS DAY! The few others (ILWU & UE come to mind) did not, and not coincidentally, have managed to hold their own against the vicious anti-union attack that followed. Almost all of the others suffered heavily.

Another historical (and ironical) note: PATCO was one of the very few unions that had publicly endorsed Reagan in 1980!
