    I knew a guy from my town who did not strike. He and a couple of other guys lived up in the control tower for several days Fearing retribution from his fellow striking members. He told me that he only had a few years to retirement And there was no way on God's green earth he was Going to do what he didn't think was right Let alone jeopardize his full retirement. He admitted that being an ATC could be very stressful at times But over all, it wasn't that bad! I don't blame him And I bet the few that remained on the job Were guys that were near retirement.

    Great video. Reagan made a bold move, but he had the law and the public behind him, so he acted. How in a world one of the great powers of the world, its government shutdown for lack of funds? It has happened many times, and I'l never understand it. Our government waste millions when in good times, then cries when they have to shutdown. Unreal.

      I think it many factors not only this one. Like Jack Welsh cooperate managment of GE and rise of consultants who will do the dirty work for the executives and few years to take there place with little consideration and knowledge of the core business. Also de-pegging of the dollar to gold had some effect as well as cooperation are becoming more of a monopoly where every company is owned by few conglomerates . I am suprised by how much money is thrown around on failed start ups and executives of cooperation get payed multi-millions while there employee struggling finically and are overworked.

    I didn't truly appreciate the structural obstacles the system has in place. But playing the devil's advocate, one can argue a big reason for strong US economic growth in the 80s, 90s and 00s was businesses being able to increase labor efficiency fairly ruthlessly being unshackled from union pressure. Re the video - fantastic overview and production quality. Honestly hugely impressive for a one-man gig. Keep grinding dude, the very deserved views and subs will follow.

    The subsequent 40 years of low inflation after that was on the back of labor and increased automation. PATCO made Volcker's job of reducing inflation a lot easier. 2% mortgages of pre-2022 would not be possible with wage inflation like we have now in 2023 and 2024. I'm really glad to see much better union leadership utilizing strategies like CHAOS and the UAW's Shawn Fain targeting specific plants rather than a general strike. We just had a 3 day general strike and management offered nothing extra and promised the union they would not reimburse for the unpaid days from strike. Today the smart strategy is to get maximum pain from daily rotating strikes. Every day would have pain without management's ability to cover with scabs. Nobody can stay out for years like Eastern Airlines mechanics. That's a near certain road to poverty for strikers.

  • @leerussel2033

    Reagan used the military to break a strike. That put a death nail in the middle class. Unions built the middle class. Hopefully people are finally seeing with our strong unions the super wealthy are bleeding the working class to death.

    There has never been a "basic human right" for controllers to strike. They did have a basic right to resign, however, and if they really were "principled," they would have. Their sense of self-importance was inflated and misplaced. It was like a mass psychosis, lemmings off a cliff. Among the most important of several factors they failed to take into account is that Federal bureaucracies are appallingly bloated. There were so many qualified controllers tucked away in offices, performing "administrative duties," pushing papers in an effort to move up the management ladder that, when they came out of the woodwork, and everyone was scheduled an extra day per week of overtime, there was something very close to a full workforce. Not only that, but without all the procedural red tape generated by those office jobs, necessary critical procedural changes were accomplished in record time. The tensions between management and the workforce disappeared as supervisors donned their headsets to control airplanes (non-striking controllers, who were grown-ups after all, successfully supervised themselves), and, though it eroded over time, there was an exhilarating camaraderie in the control facilities, and a great sense of everyone working together toward a common goal: to keep the public flying safely. It was the best of times.

    My parents were both fired in this strike. Afterwards other countries who were desperate for controllers made offers to hire controllers so they moved to australia with a handful of others. All but my parents eventually went back to the US or moved on to other countries but they stayed.

    purely from an economic standpoint - it could be argued that reagan's decision greatly emboldened businesses to take measures to improve labor efficiency, and this improved productivity helped power the significant US economic growth of the 80's and 90's

  • @kd4baoc612
    @kd4baoc612 8 месяцев назад

    The strike was illegal, period. Regan had every right to fire them. Those are the facts. Being an Air Traffic Controllers is very stressful. Ronny did have a lasting effect on the federal employee retirement system for the worst possible effect. And the feds wonder why they can't hire and keep employees. The older federal retirement system, CSRS, verses FERS , the current system is not as good.
