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.

Isn't a contract worth anything in the US then ? I wouldn't want a job if i didn't have at least the certainty that my employer better has a damn good reason to fire me, other than that a little birdie whispered in his ear that he should lay me off. The same applies to me of course. If i sign a contract for one year, then my employer should be able to trust me to finish that contract, and not run to the competition after a few months. There has to be a certain level of trust for both sides.
