PATCO workers who vowed as a condition of employment never to strike and who then went on strike. He also banned them from federal service for life.

It was a foundational moment of his presidency, and one we later learned scared the leaders of the Soviet Union. Soviet records show they realized they now had something they had long feared the most. A US president who would actually follow through on the things he said he would do.
