The Air Controllers' Controversy

As a new union member (1987) in the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) I read this book several times from cover to cover and always found something new. I also had a strong desire to learn about my roots. There are many lessons to be learned and this book is both informative and educational. It is obvious the authors spent a lot of time researching and putting together a great piece of work.The book covers PATCO from its initial start until the end.If you are a labor union member or just someone wanting to know about PATCO and its history, I whole heartedly recommend this book.
