Couldn't this potentially make it so those jobs never existed in the first place? Seems companies would be less willing to hire if it becomes harder to let employees go. What is the incentive to take risk? The reason Europe is almost out of the tech race entirely is in large part due to European companies not taking risks.



I think there needs to be some sort of counterbalance. We probably don't need full UAW style unions, but we need some sort of collective voice and power so that there can actually be a conversation with management.

I think Germany's work councils could be a good starting point to work from.


>so that there can actually be a conversation with management

What conversations do you need to have? Genuine question.
