[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A couple big agencies need to go on strike. Yes, I know they are forbidden but FFS, at this point, who wants to keep working for free? Plus I’d love to see them try to hire new air traffic controller’s or border security. [/quote] Reagan did. [/quote] Holy crap. They were ballsy back then. Robert Poli, president of the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO), sought an across-the-board annual wage increase of $10,000 for the controllers, whose pay ranged from $20,462 to $49,229 a year. He also sought a reduction of their five-day, 40-hour workweek to a four-day, 32-hour workweek. The FAA made a $40 million counteroffer, far short of the $770 million package that the union sought. https://www.politico.com/story/2017/08/05/reagan-fires-11-000-striking-air-traffic-controllers-aug-5-1981-241252[/quote]
