How did Robert Taft get his nickname?
There was a question about whteehr TR's threats to nationalize the mines set the stage for Reagan firing air traffic controllers in the 80 s and I don't believe that would be the case. The PATCO workers were federal employees of the FAA and federal employees are not covered by the NLRA and have no lawful right to strike. When they walked off the job Reagan gave them an ultimatum which was return to work and quit breaking the law or get fired. PATCO refused (though some individuals did return to work) and the strikers were fired (and blacklisted from any federal employment until Clinton pardoned them). He was able to do this because there are also military air traffic controllers who were able to perform the work of the fired controllers which he moved into the jobs until they could get new people trained. One irony of this is PATCO had endorsed Reagan's election because he assured them he would look into the problems they were raising in their contract negotiations about safety and stress on the job and then he did nothing. He was also a former president of the Screen Actors Guild so he presumably had some knowledge of why unions take positions on candidates running for office. The ultimate irony is congress re-named Wash. Nat'l Airport Reagan Nat'l of all the things they could have named after him.
Why can't postal workers strike?
Federal employees are prohibited by law from going on strike. Hence the reason for the firing of air traffic controllers during the Regan Administration. They work under government guide lines and government employees can not strike. Even though they are not government employees they work for the government.
What were the effects of the red scare on federal employees?
Firing people who refused to take an oath to be anti-communist.

What is firing angle delay?
Firing angle delay refers to the specific time interval in which a control signal is applied to a power electronic device, such as a thyristor or an SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier), after the zero crossing of the voltage waveform. This delay is critical in controlling the power delivered to a load by adjusting the phase angle at which the device is triggered. By varying the firing angle, one can regulate the output voltage and current, influencing the performance of AC power control applications, such as in dimmers or motor speed controllers. Essentially, a larger firing angle results in reduced power output.
