The Federal Aviation Administration says flights departing for Los Angeles International Airport were halted briefly due to a staffing shortage at a Southern California air traffic facility.
You can play semantic games all day, but that doesn’t change reality
The reality is that if they go on strike, it is legally a crime. A judge can find them guilty of illegal collective action, and they can be fined or put in jail. Not getting paid is a very valid complaint, but the law doesn’t have an exception for lack of payment
It’s a fucked up law, but that’s the law of the land. It is illegal for ATC to go on strike, and it’s still legally considered a strike regardless of whether or not they’re getting paid
Also, if we’re going to play semantic games: ATC is still getting paid. They got a paycheck last week. It was just for $0.00

Wait its a fucking CRIME??
I thought the “exception” was just for the protections workers get (no discrimination, etc.)
