Episode 28 picks up with the Carter presidency. The oil embargo of the mid-1970s devastated the American economy. Carter worked hard to address the crisis but it was never quite enough. Ronald Reagan was ushered in as president largely because he promised to pay attention to the issues that mattered most to working families. In fact, both the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO) and the Teamsters actually endorsed Reagan for president in 1980. But one of Reagan's first orders of business was to fire the striking PATCO workers, who had walked out on strike in 1981, as they were engaged in an illegal work stoppage. The failure of the PATCO strike was disastrous for organized labor. As Pettengill notes, this strike was the beginning of the end for organized labor as large employers saw the event as a green light to break up the unions.
