EDITORIAL

Unionists behaving badly The recent labor action announced by air-traffic controllers, who have threatened and continue to threaten to go on strike even though such a move has been deemed illegal and abusive, is moreover completely inane, especially when it comes at the height of Greece's tourist season. The reasons given by the air-traffic controllers serve little more than narrow trade union interests and ignore the blow that any such action will have on the country in the midst of a financial crisis.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

Holidays in Hellas People have been misbehaving on their holidays since Adam and Eve gave in to temptation and got themselves - and the rest of us - booted out of an eternity of free time and into this mortal drama of labor. Fortunately, God ordained the Sabbath a day of rest and then modern society came up with the concept of the paid holiday so that we may all get a taste of paradise regained for a few days before we return to the everyday grind.
