It was always unlawful for federal workers to strike. Reagan was just the first one to actually enforce the law on the matter and permanently replace striking workers, something that was uncommon in both the private and public sector at the time.
The unions totally folded after this rather than doing anything to fight back which is really why they've withered and died.
The child grinder provides a lot of good jobs. How else are those people supposed to feed their families?
Damn the PPW finally actually conquered something.

Idk why you'd think it was a honeypot. The feds definitely don't need you to put your info into a form to know that you're looking at PSL's website.
It's almost certainly because they have VAN or a similar database for their electoral work and they're trying to collect data for it as well as send you emails/texts. I'm not sure I agree with the efficacy of it but it's probably just electoral brain worms.
It seems like a housing "crisis" is when people can actually afford housing
That's certainly an interesting way to frame WW2. I'm sure the communists (including those in the Soviet Union, China, Vietnam, etc.) at the time saw it quite differently. They saw aligning with non-fascist capitalists as a necessary evil to win the war of total enslavement/extermination the Nazi and Japanese empires were waging on the world. Should the CPUSA have opposed the war?
I'd agree the American Communists (and the USSR) fucked up badly after the fact though.
No shade to the Panthers but idk if I would consider them the most successful in US history. Surely the CP organizers in the CIO and the broader Popular Front were much more successful.
Still "tankies" though - probably even more so than the Panthers.
I don't think not having a retirement plan is a particularly communist thing to do. If you have any sort of account at any financial institution you almost certainly are tied to the financial market anyways. The Chinese, the unions, hell even the DSA own financial assets.
The bad news is unless you're putting a good chunk (15-20%) of your earnings in your retirement account now you'll probably still only be able to retire in your late 60s lol.
It's actually something that railway workers sort of "won" way back in the 1920s almost a decade before the passage of the NLRA. Basically railway workers were so powerful that strikes and lockouts became too detrimental to commerce so Congress stepped in and decided that they would regulate labor relations in the industry. I think airlines were interpreted to fall under or encoded in the law a few decades later.
