Federal law makes it difficult for airline unions to conduct legal strikes. Under Railway Labor Act, they need decision from federal mediators that further negotiations would be pointless, which rarely happens. The president and Congress can also get involved to delay or block strike.

    Is it just me, or are there a lot of strikes going on?

      Nope. We’ve started hitting the normies boiling point tho. Salaries need a massive lift for everyone below a director level in corporate and anyone not working as a captain in aviation. Strikes are how we the people say enough is enough but it seems like the powers that be are asking us to full on general strike at this point with the resistance they have been putting up against minor increases
