More quiet back stabbing from the orange turd.

Union busting started in 1874 in the US. If you want to blame Reagan for firing the air traffic controllers, you have to blame Kennedy as well.

Kennedy may have. But what kind of makeup was congress at the time? Presidents often sign bills they don't like because that is the way the process works. A bill goes through the House and Senate then lands on the Presidents desk. They can veto it, but if they see it will pass again, either way, the Constitution forces the President to sign the bill the second time it lands on their desk. Many times they sign it the first time because they know a veto wont stop it.

And as far as business vs workers, America has always had a long history of businesses always trying to crush labor to keep costs down.

But in this case, this wasn't a congressional law Trump signed, this was an executive order. This is undermining, not only the First Amendment and the right to peaceably assemble, it is a clear affront to the idea of separation of powers.

Kennedy signed an executive order which made it illegal for federal employees to strike. Congress had nothing to do with it.

And, no - the president is NOT required to sign a bill the second time it lands on his desk. If Congress overrides a presidential veto, the bill becomes law without his signature.
