[QUOTE]Originally posted by Saltah'na: [QB] In the same Maclean's Magazine. Most of you have already heard about the massive protests in France regarding a proposed bill that would increase flexibility for an employer to fire a worker under 26 who has worked for less than two years at said establishment. The protests have effectively shut down the bill, from what I have told. It is heading for the scrapper. Unions are ecstatic. Of course the Unions are ecstatic. Part of the reason is that the unions fear that their cherished "job protections" would eventually be disintegrated. I think I have heard that the present job security laws prevent employers from trimming their workforces without paying substantial severance packages. I have also heard that current job security laws make it a whole lot harder to fire bad employees (again without paying substantial amounts in severance). Finally there is a notion stating that whatever job you get will perhaps be the job for life due to these protections. The Law was created to address growing unemployment among the younger generations, their unemployment rate is around 22%, in minority areas, this rises to 55%. Personally, I believe that the government is crazy to remove the law. France's Job protections amount to a "culture of entitlement" and therefore are the posterchild for North American Unions. If I heard correctly, France's deficit is starting to balloon to very high levels, the responsibility for this lies with the unions. Like seriously, can I get these protections with insane benefits and severance packages? France's Job protections need to go. Only then will they be able to solve what ails them. [/QB][/QUOTE]
