    Reagan and the PATCO Strike of 1981

    REAGAN AND THE PATCO STRIKE OF 1981 On August 3, 1981, nearly 13,000 of the 17,500 members of the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO) staged a walk out and strike. There were four main reasons the union members of PATCO decided to go on strike. First, to address the concerns by members who felt that their work was seriously undervalued and under-rewarded. The second reason was that the Federal Aviation Administration had neglected serious deficiencies in staffing and hardware reliability. Thirdly, their work week was unreasonably long, especially when compared to controllers overseas. The fourth reason for the strike was the FAA’s (FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION) approach to management-union relations and the safety of the system.…

    1001EHR Employment Relations

    Employee voice has become increasingly popular in the 21st century as business have encouraged participative management, despite its popularity employee voice can produce challenges and disadvantages for the company. A realistic example of this is the Qantas airline issue where employees of the company refused to work due to work related matters and issues, resulting in Alan Joyce (CEO of Qantas) grounding the entire fleet. This dispute was evidently displayed as Alan Joyce was forced to “lock out until the unions withdraw their extreme claim and reach an agreement with us” (News, 2011). Employees in some industries form a union so that their voices are heard. The risk of this is that it may go too far as to the demands of authority and their opinions. The Qantas issue is a prime example of how this…
