Description

Explore a deep analysis of one of the most significant events in American labor history. Grounded: Reagan and the PATCO Crash examines the rhetorical strategies used by the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO) and Ronald Reagan during the 1981 strike. This scholarly work investigates the decision to fire 11,000 federal employees, questioning if it was the only option or the best choice available at the time. This book provides a detailed look at the applicable federal statutes and how the administration chose to use them. It covers the intense relations between air traffic controllers and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) while examining the development of Ronald Reagan's rhetorical persona. Readers will gain insight into how Reagan favored epideictic rhetoric over deliberative rhetoric during this period. Part of the Garland Studies in the History of American Labor series, this text is a vital resource for those studying political leadership and labor relations.
