Don't you love the way bad conditions in the U.S. are used to ratchet down
demands by UK unions? 'C'mon, it could be worse.' Meanwhile we continue to be
blasted with propaganda about how this is the best place in the world to live.
And, is it just me, or was this a rather confused article? He seems to be
saying the EU labor law is better, but don't worry about any changes in the UK
cause it won't be enforced. Huh?
