Middle America’s David Koch has voiced support for the business practices of Qatar Airways. Although the Gulf state airline recently started allowing its flight attendants to marry and also to get pregnant, Koch said he’s impressed by the company’s continued freeze–out of labor unions. Koch calls Qatar Airways’ CEO, Akbar Al Baker, “a visionary man. When he said, ‘You in the western world wouldn’t have such high unemployment if you outlawed unions,’ I got such a jolt of patriotism. I love America and its workers. That’s why I want to free them from the chimera of workers’ rights. Where in the Constitution does it say that employees should have any say over how they’re treated at work? If you don’t like a job, quit.” Koch and his lobbyists are pushing the US to take Qatar’s lead, and ban unions. “Unions are a cancer,” Koch said, “like freedom of the press.” In other news, Kansas governor Sam Brownback is prodding the state’s legislature to outlaw Venezuela.
