We've been the first to suffer this kind of extreme and illegal measures, but we won't be the last ones. And I'm not only talking about ATC.

For example, Madrid's Police is currently negotiating a pay increase and they've threaten them with a Decree like ours if the don't reach an agreement before Easter:

Calvo amenaza con tratar a los policías como a los controladores · ELPAÍS.com

I'm not going to translate all, but the heading says: "Calvo threatens to treat the Policemen the same way as the Controllers".

¿Why negotiate when they can get all they want by a Decree and without any concessions at all?

So be aware of what can happen. Here in Spain we also thought we lived in a democracy...

Long life Zapatero! (just in case the Dictator's Secret Services are reading this, I don't want to be sent to a concentration camp).

Out of interest, does the 1200 hours/year figure also include fatigue breaks, or are they unpaid?
