Why did Reagan fire the ATC?

August 03,1981 PATCO members (Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization) went on strike and were told to be back at their jobs in 48 hours or the government would assume the striking controllers had quit. Congress in 1947 passed a law forbidding strikes by Government employees. Reagan read aloud the non-strike oath that each air controller, and indeed any federal employee, must sign upon hiring. Reagan further stated the strikers are in violation of the law, and if they do not report for work within 48 hours, they have forfeited their jobs and will be terminated. Many of the PACO strike members did not return back to work and as a result were fired.
