How would privatizing ATC solve the union problems?


In the US, it would presumably remove the automatic congressional
ratification of FAA proposed labor contracts as apparently occurred in
this case. Having a contract shoved down your throat has got to be a
problem for the union.

Or wasn't that the problem to which you were referring? :-)
