Today in 1980
Presidential candidate Ronald Reagan writes to PATCO President Robert Poli with this promise: if the union endorses Reagan, “I will take whatever steps are necessary to provide our air traffic controllers with the most modern equipment available and to adjust staff levels and work days so that they are commensurate with achieving a maximum degree of public safety.” He got the endorsement. Nine months after the election, he fires the air traffic controllers for engaging in an illegal walkout over staffing levels and working conditions.

Hawley Leads Bipartisan Pro-Labor Push
Posted On: Mar 04, 2025
Mar. 4, 2025 | LEGISLATION | Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) are introducing a major bipartisan, union-backed labor bill [today], according to a draft first obtained by Axis. It’s the first time in decades aRepublican has spearheaded pro-union reforms. It comes as the Senate looks likely to confirm President Trump’s pro-labor nominee Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer as soon as this week to lead the Labor Department. The faster Labor Contracts Act aims to prevent employers from stalling union contract negotiations – requiring talks to begin within 10 days, rather than put off for years. Read the bill at Axios.
