> The shortage — caused by years of employee turnover and tight budgets, among other factors — has forced many controllers to work up to six days a week and 10 hours a day.

It always amazes me that when you take a cross-section of workers who have life-or-death jobs (nurses, police, air traffic controllers), you find out that most of them are chronically overworked and underpaid. We should be taking better care of the people who make our lives safer.
