Descrição do Produto

On August 3, 1981, over 12,000 members of the PATCO walked off their jobs, striking for higher pay, shorter hours, and increased benefits. Unexpectedly, President Reagan decided to fire the strikers, prosecute their leaders, and decertify their union. Busch explores this decision, showing how it set the tone for Reagan’s time in the White House.
