I just recently heard about something that's been going on in France about labour. I hear that France changed the minimum age at which a worker can be fired with no reason (or something). This sounds pretty interesting. But I've been having some trouble finding specific info online. Can anyone give me a brief update on what exactly has been going on?

Thanks

Yes currently it is close to impossible to fire someone, I understand it can take up to a couple years even for fairly good cause.

So of course those who are perhaps less good workers ( maybe those unemployed) would not want that.

Of course they are use to Europe level of employment and rules. Had they have to come to the US they would consider our rules barbaric. We can actually fire someone for no reason in many states and for cause you can fire a person in all states.

And we don't even have to give paid vacations and expect you to work everyday and even be on time.

In Canada, each province sets it own rules and while a tiny bit more liberalized than the US, pretty much the same general rules as the Americans.

Yes I have a lot of relitives that decided not to move to the colonies and stayed in Canada. I almost moved there some years ago, but imigration was going to be an issue, citizenship and all of that, so I decided not to.

I like the health care program in general, everything can be improved but it is a better start than what the US has
