The question is how should we?I always liked the Australian system, but things work in some places and not in others due to culture and people. We have a VERY large population who "works" just to get fired and collect unemployment. Seen it many times. If we had to give them notice and pay for weeks to do nothing or worse, or had to keep them on our staff to do nothing bringing down the organizaton, we'd be toast as a country. Maybe Europe might import these people soon and have to get rid of their safety nets. I am not so sure. *****Actually, an interesting point, and if I did save the link I wil post it, marketwatch did a whole story on if we should have work stoppages or more vacation like Europe. You know how instead of laying people off you have a month vacation like the french. It has about a half dozen writers with their experiences and opinions on the program. If we're going to punish our corporations or become socialist, I hope they at least give us good vacation and sick benefits to compensate. No single person has done so little to destroy the worlds largest industry, tourism and conferences as our President has And he has the backing of the service union!?!? If we had free time, and some job security, it may mitigate and reverse this. But not totally, as business needs conventions, and vice versa. Can't run these hotels just on family trips. I don't know anything else I really want from Europe. At all. Well present day Europe. The East Indian Tea Company situation would be nice. |
