i was shocked that government decided to intervene into worker/workplace argument and clearly picked the favorite side without even holding a council.

the part you never adressed is that government was not SUPPOSED to EVER get a favorite in a private conflict, part firing employees and banning them from ever serving for any gov posision? not only intent was so outrageous, but the reaction was disproportional, not only affecting more than 10K people, but leaving the whole industry barely hanging.

maybe the time will forget the outcome, but what I and prob the generations to come will never understand - what whas the gov stake in this? why they never tried to have a council with a gov as a mediator and most importantly - what is the value of at-will contracts if mostly works only one way?
