> To me, it feels like the alternative, even if you could fix it, would result in eliminating swathes of currently provided services. I see your point. But, in my experience, it is the opposite. I have worked in Sweden and Spain, two very different job markets. Sweden is way more effective because employees have more rights and more possibilities to look for another job. In Spain, a lot of companies used to be very bad at what they were doing, but were using very cheap labour so they were able to have a profit anyway. It is the selection of the fittest. When you have abundant cheap labour the most abusive companies succeed. What that is not the case, smart responsible companies have an advantage. Poverty and stress is not a winning bet.
