Government employees are not subject to market forces the way private
sector employees are. Customer dissatisfaction with their product
does not cause them lose jobs or pay. Therefore, they do not
necessarily feel the same pressure to produce goods and services that
satisfy their customers.

An external device, such as a reasonable dress code, might go a long
way towards instituting some of that discipline.


How?

Unit cohesion. Helps people get used to following directives.

The only reason controllers can feel like they can oppose management
on every issue is because they think the government monopoly that has
provided them with their jobs and pay is forever going to be there.

They are wrong.


But ATC will always be a monopoly.

Just like telecoms, electricity etc, right?

How about, renewable franchise licences with 5 year contracts, open
bidding competition for the franchise to operate an ATC for said period.
Infrastructure and services provided by possibly different firms.

Naaah, can't happen.

PS: I take it now you understand why the Alexis Park Inn employees are
different than gov't employees?
