ANSWER:

The statement is false.

President Reagan fired fire-fighters in 1981 and not 1985 for an illegal strike.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • President Reagan stated that the strike was illegal and in violation of laws of work and professional ethics.
  • The President also issued a warning to the fire-fighters over their strike and threatened to fire them if they did not return to work within 48 hours.
  • The workers did not return to work and so were fired and lost their jobs as a result.
