Originally posted by Timber Loftis: Look, the workers in France need to grow up. In the U.S. we are mostly employed "at will." Basically, most every employer here can fire a worker at will, without cause. Conversely, we can quit at will, without cause. I'm in a high-paid professional job, and can lose it at any moment. Maybe if in France you had to live with this possibility on a daily basis, your workers would actually *WORK* rather than protest for 11 months and then take the entire month of August off.

I wouldn't like a system like that. Here in Quebec if you are fired without a good reason you can take it up to the government and get your job back. I like that an employer can't fire you just because he decided he doesn't like you.
