It was actually about 13,000 that went on strike and a little more than 11,000 that were fired...but don't let those pesty facts get in the way.
The firing of the ATC's was also, the beginning of a long, coordinated, game of reducing the power of union's that has (unfortunately in a lot of cases)...worked quite successfully.
I'm sure it is just a pure coincidence, that the massive reduction in union membership has had a direct opposite effect...of the profits going to the top 10%.
