This from Politico on August 5, 2008:
“On this day in 1981, President Ronald Reagan fired more than 11,000 air traffic controllers who ignored his order to return to work. The sweeping mass firing of federal employees slowed commercial air travel, but it did not cripple the system as the strikers had forecast.”
Seems that RR did fire the air traffic controllers after all.
>>>who ignored his order to return to work<<<
They ignored his order to return to work.
They FIRED themselves. Get it now? LOL
