This Thursday, the Department of Labor will induct President Ronald Reagan into the Labor Hall of Honor, joining fellow inductees like Cesar Chavez, Mother Jones, and A. Philip Randolph. The only U.S. President to have led a major union, the Screen Actors Guild, Reagan launched the modern era of union-busting when he fired striking air traffic controllers in 1981. According to labor historian Joseph A. McCartin, the 1981 strike and defeat of PATCO -- the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization -- was "one of the most important events in late twentieth century U.S. labor history."

No, not an article headline from The Onion.  From "Union City", publication of the Metro Washington Council AFL-CIO, today. 

Every time you think these bottom feeders have written the Guinness book of world records on cynicism, they come up with something new. 

There is a protest demonstration surrounding the induction ceremony today.  I wouldn't be surprised if Fox gives it substantially more attention than most others.  But then again it may go mostly unreported.
