Well from what I heard the union had a lot of power there, parking spots right out the door of the facility, and alot of scheduling issues. I used to work with a guy that was active duty there and he said the brass and the union didn't get along well at all. Pretty much the same union power hunger and management capitulating following later by the same FAA knee jerk "oh no we're not in control" sort of thing.

But I was never even there so take that for whatever it's worth...

I was stationed there from 92-96. The union did not have specific assigned spots but we were encouraged to let the DOD's have the closest ones to the building. They did a superb job training the Marines. Most were very good controllers and had a wealth of knowkedge to pass on. They usually didn't tolerate slackasses. If you didn;t put out in training, you got sent to VAL/base ops. Traffic was pretty crazy then so you didn't make it if you weren't shiite hot. We had a very good OIC and she seemed to have a very professional relationship with the dod leadership. Who was the guy you knew, I probably know his also.
