Answer 1

Answer:

C. Labor unions deteriorated as employers fired striking workers and replaced them.

Explanation:

The Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization(PATCO )was a United States trade union that was responsible for the welfare of aviation workers.

An illegal strike in August 3, 1981 occurred, seeking better working conditions such as reduced 32-hour work week and a $10,000 pay increase.

President Reagan fired all the aviation staffs and new set of people were trained and hired.
