The new president, Ronald Reagan, fired the strikers, establishing a reputation for both decisiveness and hostility to organized labor. As Joseph A. McCartin writes, the strike was the culmination of two decades of escalating conflict between controllers and the government that stemmed from the high-pressure nature of the job and the controllers' inability to negotiate with their employer over vital issues. PATCO's fall not only ushered in a long period of labor decline; it also served as a harbinger of the campaign against public sector unions that now roils American politics. 000466674 60010 $$aReagan, Ronald. 000466674 61020 $$aProfessional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (Washington, D.C.) 000466674 61010 $$aUnited States.$$bFederal Labor Relations Authority. 000466674 650_0 $$aAir Traffic Controllers' Strike, U.S., 1981. 000466674 650_0 $$aCollective bargaining$$xAeronautics$$zUnited States. 000466674 650_0 $$aCollective bargaining$$zUnited States. 000466674 85200 $$bgen$$hHD5325.A4252$$i1981$$iM38$$i2011 000466674 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:466674$$pGLOBAL_SET 000466674 980__ $$aBIB 000466674 980__ $$aBOOK
