Not quite; disabilities rights workers agitate on behalf of ALL disabled 
people. Unions agitate on behalf of a select group of workers. If there 
were more solidarity among unions, they would be much more successful. I 
expect that Reagan's going after the air-traffic controllers first, was 
indicative of his belief that solidarity would be slight with this group of 
relatively privileged workers. He was right.
