8-5-15 The Shot Heard 然ound the Boardroom in 2:00 (PATCO STRIKE)

August 5, 2015
On this day in Labor History the year was 1981. It was a dark day in U.S. labor history.

Nearly 13,000 members of the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization had been out on strike for two days.

2:00 minute audio at link.

The Rick Smith radio show has some fans trying to get his show on Sirius/XM.

I post his labor history in 2:00 on the DU every day with a great response.

Please help make this happen.

@Liz_Aiello Liz Aiello is VP, Talk Programming SiriusXM

backed Reagan in firing the air traffic controllers.

No wonder unions have been steadily losing ground all these years, when even the head of the AFL-CIO won't back its own.
