I am constantly astonished reading some of the employment practices that seem to be the norm in the US. I am in Europe. Things like, No paid holidays, no parental leave, being fired for no reason with no notice, having to find your own cover if off sick, being expected to work extra hours as a norm, etc. My question is, how did it get this way. How did the development of worker's rights in the rest of the world bypass the US, and why did you allow it?
