Time to take the handcuffs off.

The point of these devices (like the RLA) is that the wearer generally cannot remove them by him/herself.

The RLA was made law (in theory) so that one group of workers could not cripple the country's transportation system or economy. Since there is no shortage of competition these days, there is no reason to prevent a strike. If ever there was a time to push for the abolition of the RLA this is it - with the current short-lived administration and party majority.

RLA is unconstitutional

Nothing will change unless it goes away.

Unfortunately the unions are in king size beds with Obama, especially when Capitan Prater comes around. Status quoe is good.

This is the most labor friendly administration the unions have had in a long time. If ALPA can't change things now, it'll never be done. Then again, maybe they don't want to change things.

Exactly. What makes us think ALPA wants to change it?
