:I don't think that anyone - right or left - would deny that she stifled the coal industry and the newspaper unions - these are probably the two most significant achievements of her time in office, even more than privatization! The only thing left and right would differ on on whether it was justified. [[User:Tracy C Copeland|Tracy C Copeland]] 13:50, 17 March 2007 (EDT)

Well, unions in general were a lot less powerful when she left office, and the Coal and Newspaper ones were weakened more than most.  So I'd say that "stifled" was relatively moderate language.  Words like "crushed" or, perhaps even better, "emasculated" spring eagerly to ones lips. --[[User:British_cons|British_cons]] [[User_talk:British_cons|(talk)]] 15:04, 17 March 2007 (EDT)

:*Squeakbox, what was said is, she fought the unions, not the coal and newspaper industry.  We had a few vandals who were re-writing the page to better suit their liking, not the facts. As Time magazine said of her "Champion of free minds and markets, she helped topple the welfare state and make the world safer for capitalism." And I say here! bloody here! --[[User:TK|TK]] 15:52, 17 March 2007 (EDT)
