What could PATCO have done differently?
A Brief History of PATCO
Through the late 1960’s and early 70’s, a core of activists had built PATCO from a loose federation of company unions and professional organizations into a fighting union. In its 12 years of existence PATCO had developed a reputation as a union that was aggressively defending its members working conditions, public safety and the reform of air traffic control practices. Through a series of militant job actions, sickouts, and slowdowns they had won union recognition, serious gains in wages and working conditions, and engaged the FAA and the Airlines in a public discussion about air travel safety and regulation. One of the key demands of the union in 1981 was relief from the Civil Service Reform Act which would give them full recognition as an industrial union and the legal right to strike.
