Those who doubt the relevance of unions may want to consider the precarious situation of TSA agents and air traffic controllers, who have faced a prolonged period without compensation. The 1981 air traffic controllers’ strike, which resulted in the dissolution of their union by President Reagan, highlights the significance of collective bargaining. In light of these circumstances, it is logical to recognize the need for unions and their ability to organize. It is unlikely many would aspire to the roles of these professionals under current conditions.
