Nothing new.
Had a friend in 1981 who was a controller at Chicago but due to family commitments had moved to Swiss control at Zurich.
He tried to warn them of their practices having had several incidents himself and was rewarded with a Der Spiegel on his chair with the headline "Auslander Raus".
Left and went back to the US without a job as Reagan had sacked all the controllers.
Took twenty years for the inevitable to happen although I had a couple of close calls.
