This is a failure doomed from the beginning of gambling.

December 6, the Spanish national airline resumed its former busy thorough and orderly. Hopes to strike without warning, the Spanish government held hostage by members of their air traffic control, and ultimately a little taste of military control measures Franco dictatorship, the taste of the times.

December 3, 2300 number of members of the Spanish air traffic control team kidnapped without warning the Spanish aviation industry. They use the Spanish five days holiday, hundreds of thousands of tourists travel time to ground a collective off-site sick. More than 2,000 flights were grounded, and about 60 million passengers stranded, as their policy of reprisals means the Spanish Government to reduce pay.

3 night, the Spanish government announced that the military has full control of air traffic control work, and warned air traffic control staff, to continue the strike will face unemployment or imprisonment.

ATC staff are small in number, no law is not responsible for all the inherent advantages, it is suitable for government control of a strong sector involvement; air traffic control staff have a high income, the equivalent of wage income after 3 times the annual salary of the Prime Minister of Spain, in deep economic crisis country and difficult to get public sympathy, so do not form a wide range of social interaction effects.

Most importantly, the way they are both bad and worse. This year in February, the air traffic controllers to reduce the government satisfied its overtime allowance, but forbear to engage in a surprise attack when the National Fangda Jia, thinking serve, did not think this is forcing people across the country stand in opposition to their , and the sick without warning foam strike is no longer the way to the Spanish law. This confrontation, in addition to causing huge losses to the society, only to the Spanish government crisis management capabilities of a performance stage. The results of the Spanish Government response to public opinion to the air traffic controllers a heavy blow, a hero.

4 pm, air traffic control staff are coming back to work, the full restoration of the Spanish airspace open.

No doubt, the Spanish government now has control of the situation, they are confident to announce that Christmas will not strike again staged a farce, while air traffic controllers on the part of the Criminal procedure instituted. But the problem is not resolved, a German tourist question: “Authority to work by the gun’s air traffic control staff who manage the route, who would then rest assured that opportunity?” More importantly, a strong tradition in this country where the strike If other types of people legal strike, how should dispose of Spain?

In European countries, if requested in advance and approval of proposed strike, the Government has no special reason not to stop the strike behavior. Take the airline industry, for example, in February this year, Lufthansa strike causes 800 times machine Normal flight cancellations, loss of 1 million euros; March British Airways Goes to 35% of the British strike aircraft service cancellation, 7.5 million passengers affected.

Economic recession and the EU countries have generally adopted a policy of fiscal austerity, has made the strike spreading like a plague. Politically, the strike to relieve the anger of society, belonging to a group of people to safeguard their own interests and reasonable move. But from the perspective of economic loss, the crisis is almost always strike the times and spread to the social benefits of a lose-lose no-win game.

This neatly solved the Spanish air traffic control staff to strike, but they may not have the power to subdue down one after another wave of strikes. Can be said that air traffic control staff of madness, a reflection of social unrest in Spain and even resentment from the poorer classes have spread to high-income groups.

Members of the ATC strike in Spain are part of state-run Aviation Administration, although not their civil servants, but are public officers. In the country faces severe economic difficulties, to take taxpayer money for taxpayer service of public officers and public sector entities have become the vanguard of refusing to ride out the storm. This situation is really ironic.

Review of European societies since the economic crisis since the compressive response, an interesting phenomenon is that those public sector units under the Government’s collective interests are often the first to throw away the crowd.

Several major strikes in France are the lead units of government funding of the public, blocking traffic, police strike and a series of acts, public interests in the kidnapping in no way inferior to their “Spanish comrades.” The Spanish air traffic control staff, fewer working hours, overtime allowance and more, the average annual salary of nearly
