How can the US have that little protection? By not passing laws protecting workers, it's quite simple, actually. The implied "why" would be a more fluid workforce. We've all heard the horror stories of companies/industries/nations paralyzed by an unmotivated/unproductive workforce. Hell, we have the same jokes here about jobs in some government agencies and big corporations. The thought is "quick to hire, quick to fire". I don't mind it; I just think the situation where you lose your job AND your health care is insane. I'd like a stronger social safety net. On the other hand, perhaps countries with a stronger social safety net make it harder for companies to fire, so they push the burden back on the companies to keep from stressing social services.
