Night of the Creeps (1986)
On this day, 5 August 1981, after just two days on strike, 11,345 federal air traffic controllers were sacked by US President Reagan (himself a former union leader) for refusing his order to return to work. The workers were banned from federal service for life (lifted over a decade later), their union was legally dissolved later in October, and military air traffic controllers were used as replacements until new hires could be trained.

But TBH I prefer the MIT Open Coursewear approach. Feel like taking a class on the policy and economics of nuclear engineering? MIT’s got you covered:
In fact they’ve got you covered with A LOT of their courses, everything from fine arts to immunology.
Have fun :)
