The reason why it was wrong for the air traffic controllers to go on strike during the Reagan administration is because: They were Federal employees.

Answer:

Because they were federal workers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Air Traffic Controllers went out on strike in August 3rd of 1981. The strike was considered illegal because Air Traffic Controllers are federal employees and by law, they cannot take strikes. Because of that, a Federal Judge ordered to pay 1,000 dollars a day in fines. More than 11 thousand Air Traffic controllers were fired.
