ADDENDUM added on Dec. 26, 2018: This "thread" is my contribution to the PATCO fiasco/scenario:MODUS VIVENDI (a Manner of Living. a Way of Life.): the Trials and Tribulations of a Professionally-minded Air Traffic Controller https://www.amazon.com/dp/1717290264?ref_=pe_870760_150889320Buy it.. You'll like it..ORIGINAL POSTING:This excellent book exemplifies "a day in the life" of those of us who were involved in this extraordinary attempt (PATCO strike) to gain some long-overdue validation and vindication for past oversights of our profession by the Federal government.. Unfortunately, as beautifully detailed in Mr. McCartins writing, things don't always work out as planned.. Kind of like getting married.. and then, getting divorced.. Stuff Happens.. Life goes on.. There are many stories out there of "life after PATCO 1981". I became an FAA controller in Jan. 1975.. I was 29 years old in Aug. 1981.. I have had many "lives" since that fateful day. Now, at age 63, I am still dealing with the fallout from that excellent adventure.. But, that's OK.. This book needs to be read by every person involved with aviation. It may help explain why, in this day and age, some of you are not making the wages that you feel you deserve.. It all goes back to this strike in 1981.. The ripple effect on our industry which continues even 33 years after the fact.. Again, Mr. McCartin: thanks for the awesome book and for the long-forgotten memories of a day in the life ( my life)..
Anyone who remembers 1981 remembers the day the air traffic controllers went out on strike. President Reagan ordered them to report back to work within 48 hours or else. Those who didn't (only 10% of those striking returned to work) were fired.In Collision Course, labor historian Joseph McCartin has written an account of the formation of PATCO (the Professional Air Traffic Controllers' Organization), the strike, and what happened after Reagan fired the controllers.Collision Course is no dull labor history. It's told almost like a thriller. McCartin refers early in the book to Arthur Hailey's novel Airport. I think he may have been inspired by Hailey to keep it punchy, because even though you know how the PATCO story ends, it's still quite exciting to read about the events leading up to the inevitable clash of union and employer.McCartin tells many sides to the story that I wasn't aware of at the time. Reagan's decision to act tough had just as much to do with foreign policy as it did with labor relations. He was dealing with the Soviets and needed to appear decisive and ruthless.McCartin also tells how the controller population was overwhelmingly male, white, and ex-military. The chapters on how the black controllers and the women controllers created ways to succeed despite the institutional prejudice they faced is actually quite inspiring. It's possible that the tendency for the white men of PATCO to see things from a narrow point of view was part of their downfall. PATCO dismissed the concerns of the few blacks and women among their numbers, and they also failed to consider how their increasing demands might appear to the American taxpayers.As gripping as the story is, what does it have to do with us today? Lots, according to McCartin, and he makes a convincing case. Unions were reluctant for decades after the PATCO strike to push back against a steady loss of benefits and wages, because employers figured if the president could break a strike, they could too. Even in 2011, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker invoked Reagan's memory to justify his successful bill to eliminate bargaining rights for public workers. Never mind that Reagan acknowledged PATCO's right to bargain and only drew the line at the illegal strike. After the mass firing, unions became less and less popular, and the balance of power between employer and employee tilted heavily in favor of the employer."They can't fire all of us." What had been a rallying cry for the PATCO controllers before the strike became gallows humor to post-PATCO workers, an ironic reminder that yes, they can fire all of us.
This is an excellent study of a public union; how it started, the setbacks, the triumphs, and finally, their self-destruction. Despite being offered the biggest set of concessions ever offered by the federal government to a union (according to the author), the Air Traffic Controller union PATCO decided to hold out for more. The result, with all sides believing they had no room for compromise, makes for compelling tragic theater.The book will get the attention of the interested reader with their final battle against President Reagan, but there are many interesting stories about PATCO during its formative years. These hard workers were nitpicked, overworked, and underpaid no matter what their salaries. At the same time, they had trouble lining up sympathy in their strike against the Federal Government, as other unions saw them making far more money than their own negotations. During the 'Reagan Recession', the American public had little sympathy for a union that appeared to epitomize the caricature of the 'pampered unionist'.The author makes a slight misstep giving an epilogue touching on Wisconsin Governor Walker's recent adjustment to his state's collective bargaining agreement. Raising the topic, he doesn't say anything on the particulars, indicating this was simply rushed into the hardcover to give the book some timeliness. But don't let that fool you, this is a well-researched book that is very readable for its own history.Another mistake the author makes is the assumption (common on the left) that heartless Reagan cut social spending. It never happened, the Federal government never spent one penny less on social spending under Reagan. None of his proposed cuts on welfare and aid to the poor were made into policy because he had a Democrat congress for most of his two terms. Tip O'Neill would declare Reagan budgets "dead on arrival", and Reagan would complain about being elected to two terms while the public also saddled him with a Democrat congress. In the end, both sides got what they wanted: Reagan his increases in military spending, the Democrats their increases in social spending. A little historical fact-checking would have helped the author here.But that is just partisan nitpicking on my part and should persuade readers across the political spectrum that this is a good read for everyone. There are a number of surprises in the book, which I won't spoil. Suffice to say that this was not just about President Reagan, Geraldine Ferraro made her unique contribution to the impasse, as did the previous president, Jimmy Carter. Read this book and learn more about where unions are today, and what this all means to the American worker.
