We did not have enough characters for the circus that day and night we assembled in Spain for two years, air traffic controllers have decided to join the event with its own function. Spain
locked (and collapsing in Europe) in one of the year's most important bridges. An estimated 300,000 people have been unable to move normally in just 12 hours ... with the subsequent drubbing leads to business hotels and other services, and many hardships are going through the economic crisis that now them a helping hand ... the neck, of course.
I have a good while reading statements, opinions, complaints of all those involved in this mess, and I draw two basic conclusions: 1-
Air traffic controllers are in a kind that awakens in advance the wrath of the society. Their high salaries and the continuous attacks of the Minister of Public Works will have pilloried. They complain that they suffer cuts in pay and rights for ten months, which is aggravated by adopting the Council of Ministers today a decree in which unilaterally extended their working hours that drivers accused of "extremely stressful" and endangering the lives of travelers by the conditions in which they work. Are right about one thing: charging more than average is no reason for them fights with the excuse that economically are more than enough. Any industrial action must be agreed between unions and Government, when acting unilaterally what happens happens. But there is cause for a few hours in the Council approved a law that (according to them) is bad for them, taking the law into their own hands and throw them all home. should have set a new timetable for negotiations or at least warn in good time the beginning of a strike, and not block the country. Therefore should be dismissed without hesitation. Part of reason that could have been lost with his performance and his blackmail in yesterday.
in Spain there is a misconception among transport workers (Renfe, Metro, pilots, truckers, drivers ...) that are untouchable because they depend on to move the country. is thought that the cuts in times of crisis just affect entrepreneurs, SMEs, teachers ... everyone but them. This position of false superiority have come from lack of strength of the various governments of the nation and regional (call PP and PSOE, I do not). It seems that in Spain, always under the long shadow of Franco, there can be tough for those who do not comply and laws. I will be strong, but heads to roll, if once the unions and the opportunist opposition will use that word as used: "Fascists!" So we live. If you have to lay off 1000, are dismissed if they have met minimum service laws, whatever sector they are. There are lots of unemployed people waiting for their chance.
Esperanza Aguirre metro workers stopped him because the Community did not accept the poor things get off to 1-2% of their salary, when the average stood at 5%. In those days, the Socialists, grown at the opportunity to weaken Aguirre, accused of lack of tact, a dictator and not respecting the rights of workers. To citizens understood that it was a blackmail the President, but they wanted to get slice ... today, that handling them backfires, and still want to support the opposition.
2 - Jose White should resign. I know that is not popular in Spain, but if you are dignity would go to his home in Galicia. We ten-month battle between promotion and control, throughout this time has been unable to resolve the conflict, more concerned with not losing votes to act with firmness, but will cost a decline in popularity. It has simply go patching knew full well that anyone not contented. He has been playing with a bomb that would explode when do more damage: a Bridge. And secondly: what head be adopted regulating the working hours of drivers on the eve of the departure of so many travelers! If you know of opportunism and lack of scruples of workers in this sector, why not have waited a week? intelligence and acumen were never the strengths of this government. They believed that betting everything on Rubalcaba persuasive skills would suffice.
mess And meanwhile, he again turns to the Military so unfairly valued part of English society, but they are always and meet when needed ... few can boast of that.
