The air traffic controllers (ATC) refusal to accept the government’s austerity measures and their subsequent strike action has brought government and all political parties in unison for the first time in years. Even the PASYDI union chief, Mr Hadjipetrou seemed a bit annoyed by the controller’s stance and this is no mean feat. Given the circumstance it’s quite hard to side with the controllers as their main argument is that if their salaries are reduced then the inflow into the state’s coffers will also be reduced.
