I live in Belgium, and employees are very well protected here, and unions very strong. So I definitely get the difference between us and US :). If you're in US and want to move closer to a system as we have in EU, I get that. It just seems to me that a lot of times, people get stuck in this boss vs servant mentality. That companies are these groups of people that control everything. I find it a very wrong view of the world. In the western world it's so easy to become your own boss, and even employ people if you wish. All of a sudden you are part of this group that "controls everything". Plenty of people are not 'school smart' like software developers, but still start some contracting business and make nice money.
