Your larger post was GOP is anti union and that unions will be a future target with the addition of Trump appointments on the Supreme Court.
Anti-union.
Someone (maybe @vantexan? ) mentioned Obamas failure with the presidency, House and Senate and still the RLA exists. Not in those terms but it was their point.
By action, who has shown they are anti union?
By action, (don't use the fear tactic of perceived future Supreme Court decisions), what exactly did the dems do?
In light of the results of the 2018 election how do you see it as a "win" for the GOP.?
How was Obama supposed to get a pro business piece of legislation such a the RLA revised or revoked when he was a minority president for 6 of his 8 years in the WH?
The Republicans might argue that none of Obama’s proposed legislation was pro-business (full corporate giveaway) anyway.

You wring your hands a lot. Should wait until it happens. A lot less stress.
Today only 12% of all blue collar workers are union members In addition Trumka came out of the UMW and how many miners are UMW today? He's a paper tiger in terms of union circles and no John L Lewis. Not even close.

The RLA is a Republican gift to anti-union companies like XPO and FedEx, to name just 2 of many. It's amazing so many UPS people love being union, and also support Republicans.
If they could do away with collective bargaining and have every state RTW, they'd do it in a heartbeat because the GOP isn't about workers, it's about the 1% that are owners or major investors.
If that were to happen then I would love to see the reaction from conservative UPS brown shirts when they discover what their labor is worth in the real economy driven and controlled entirely by market forces not the sheltered little world they currently live in. Remember all that stands between them and the real world economy is a piece of ageing New Deal legislation .

FedEx workers voted no to union.

By doing it right away in the first year instead of socializing medicine.
The first two years of the Obama administration were consumed by two critical matters. Coping with the Bush recession (remember that so called "winning?) and trying to pass healthcare legislation in response to rural hospitals dropping like flies as a result of getting stiffed with millions in unpaid bills. That combined with losing upward of 700,000 jobs a month while bailing out banks and car companies labor law legislation invariably will take a back seat.

Lets face it, the Obama years were 8 long years of failure.

Agree
I believe that historians and political scholars who have higher levels of education than you and I will disagree. BTW DJIA 3/9/ 2009....6547 . 11/07/2016....18259 S&P 500 on 3/09/09....676. 11/07/2016.....2132. Those numbers clearly contradict your claims of failure. And don't try to say that it's "fake news" because the SEC sees to it that it's not.

They helped Wall Street but not Main Street. No economic growth for two terms. Total failure.

Mediocrity and ‘lost opportunity’ is closer to the truth.
