Is it the workers fault that the government is keeping this a public entity? Why should they suffer because they just so happen to be in an industry that, while no longer essential, is still government owned. Ask yourself this, if this company is in such bad shape that they need to use taxpayer dollars just to keep it afloat, why hasn't the government gotten rid of it, or at least part of it to keep the costs low for taxpayers? Maybe it makes more money than they let us think and keep it just as a means to hike taxes?
If you have an issue with where your tax dollars are spent, punish the government that chooses to spend them that way, but attacking the worker who is just trying to have a decent life like the rest of us? That doesn't make sense to me

Good grief. I AM attacking the government and hoping they cut off a corporation that competes with private business that also provides far far more jobs than they do.
People lose their jobs ALL THE TIME in private sector businesses when it is deemed they are no longer needed to perform for that company. But because these are government unionized workers ....they somehow deserve protection from losing their non essential jobs for which they are already very healthily compensated between salary and benefits?
Is this really your argument?
