Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization Records, Local 601, Anchorage, Alaska 1968-1988

http://www.lib.utexas.edu/taro/utarl/00171/00171-P.html

Professional Air Traffic Controllers (PATCO), Local 601, Anchorage, Alaska, was chartered in 1975. By early 1976 it had eighty members spread thinly across the state. It had two goals: to improve the working conditions for air traffic controllers and to generate support at the local level for the national union. As members of the greater national union, they adhered to the philosophy and actions taken by the parent organization, including the strike that was called after negotiations with the FAA broke down in 1981. This strike violated federal regulations and led to the eventual termination of more than 11,000 air traffic controllers. The collection includes correspondence, reports of congressional testimony, newspaper and magazine clippings, newsletters, journals, publications, and artifacts. The bulk of the collection consists of office files and PATCO newsletters and journals, 1968-1988. Photographs of the negotiating teams for PATCO and the FAA are also included.

The Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO) was founded in 1969.

Among the issues discussed were working conditions, hours required, pay ceilings, and workers' rights. One of the central issues on which neither party could compromise was the workers' right to strike. ...
