Spanish Air Traffic Controllers Marched Back To Work As Airports Reopen


Is the story Spanish Air Traffic Controllers Marched Back To Work As Airports Reopen the sign of the future for the world?

Threatened with immediate imprisonment for sedition if they did not obey their new military commanders, and the show of force as in Madrid, the controllers capitulated.

Earlier in the story there was this chilling piece:

“I cannot talk to you properly now,” an air traffic controller at Madrid’s Barajas Airport told The Sunday Telegraph in a half whisper, his voice quavering on his mobile.

“There are civil guards here, with pistols. If we don’t start work now, we will be arrested.

Is this what free-market capitalism has come to?  Free for the rich and slave labor for the rest.

Compared to this Ronald Reagan was a pussycat. If we vote for more Republicans, we can have this mutant form of Reaganomics in this country too.

When Reagan did his shtick with the air traffic controllers, I stuck to trains for long distance travel until the new controllers could get some on-the-job training.  How would you like to fly in the skies where your safety was controlled by people working at the point of a gun?

To think that the west is giving China advice on the human rights of its workers.
