Saturday, December 06, 2003A trade union in Austria calls it 'psychological terrorism' and has launched a campaign urging a halt to the practice on behalf of those forced to endure the repetitive loop of songs. The campaign, launched this week as the holiday shopping season got well under way, advocates that carol playing be limited to just an hour a day, between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m., to help limit the damage to workers' mental health. Workers 'become aggressive and develop an aversion to Christmas music,' explained Gottfried Rieser, a member of the Union of Private Employees. The union is one of the leaders of the campaign to stop the day-long music. 'It gets to the point where on Christmas Eve, when they're at home with their families, they can't stand Silent Night or Jingle Bells one more time,' Mr. Rieser said. posted by Sydney on 12/06/2003 09:21:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
