HAT programs have State, City and local administratrations prepared to fend off public employee strikes against government? We ask the question in view of the fact that the recent threat of a strike by New York City teachers seems not to have taught much of a lesson to government. Reports of picket lines upstate and down are constant and the idea of mass demonstration threatens to become a popular device for winning gains from government. This lead us to ask other questions. What is the role of responsible employee organizations who seek sucess over the bargaining table instead of in the streets? What answers does government have to these organizations when anarchy wins a point that peace and order did not? In the South we find elected ofTcials, sworn to uphold the laws of the land, being the chief violators of those laws. If officials deny the law, why should the citizenry do otherwise? The same arguments are beginning to appear here. If brute strength can bring victory, why bother with orderly procedures—especially when not only are violations of an anti-strike law not punished but also when muscle produces money where none was said to be had. The only answer to this threatened anarchy is the preparation by government of honest and fair employee programs—and the courage to stick to them. The time for such programs is now.
