Abstract
Attention is given to four constructive lessons in employee relations that can be drawn from the 1981 PATCO strike of our traffic controllers. First, separate truth from fiction in a strike's record and alleged impact. Second, learn the shortcomings of one party of an organization. Third, learn that the "new employee" is best managed by a mix of mutual respect, consideration, and flexibility. Finally, learn that radical organizational change always remains possible, but only if there is first a major overhaul of top leadership.
