The free market is finally catching up in Europe as the French workers learn:
An estimated 2 to 3 million striking workers and students demonstrated in cities and towns throughout France yesterday in opposition to the Gaullist government?s ?First Job Contract? (CPE?Contrat premi?re embauche) legislation, which permits employers to dismiss young workers without cause or compensation during their first two years on the job.
Entitlement mentalities, once in place, are painfully difficult to dislodge. It seems akin to having impacted wisdom teeth. Maybe the French should release copious amounts of wine to the public to make this reality easier to deal with. Then again, maybe they should simply enact freedom and allow employers to hire and fire based on performance.
