Readers Write: Seeking PATCO Book

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)“A few weeks back you informed us about a Georgetown professor who wrote a book about air traffic controllers and President Reagan,” writes Union City reader Charles Moore at WTU Local 6. “Please share that with me again. I’d like to purchase that book.”
Collision Course: Ronald Reagan, the Air Traffic Controllers and the Strike that Changed America was written by Georgetown University professor Joseph A. McCartin, who also heads Georgetown’s Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor. Click here to order it online from Powell’s Books, a union book shop. McCartin participated in an AFL-CIO panel last month on the strike; Reagan’s Union-Busting in PATCO Strike Reverberates Today.
