[QUOTE="klein, post: 903879, member: 23950"] Acctually if you started work at any UPS center in Europe, be it Holland, Germany or whatever... you would start off with full union wages. Get a minum 5 weeks vacation as of starting date. (i.E. you started today nov 20th, you'ld be entitled to 2.7 days vacation this year (2011), yet. Full pay, full bennies, and full vacation from day 1 (sounds good, doesn't it) ? Of course in the USA, that's uncool. Companies need to earn more money, and scew the new work force - they need to work their way up, yet. Workers are much better off in Europe, that I can honestly say. Then you have other programs, like Government Daycare in some countries - that allows single women to go to work, without the need to worry about babysitters or paying daycare. Companies in the uS could probably be just as generous, but the Unions in North America are different then those in Europe. The ones in America only seem to give more to those that have seniority, and nothing to the newbies - the rest the company profits all. Well, Huffington Post was the only artilce that I didn't need to do a picture click per page, per country. Just look up top 10 countries to live in United Nations. (2010) Anyways I lived and worked there, so I know. And I also know, I left a lot of good things behind, esspecially the great working conditions that I still miss today. If Canada wouldn't have healthcare like the US doesn't - I would be probably back in Europe long ago. And who knows, I would think Denmark probably came in 11th or 12th. I would need to google that. Germany can't be far behind, either. Google yourself (Untied Nations top 10 countries 2011) all kinds of articles.... Huffington Post was the only one, I didn't need to click thru the top 10 pics (pages) of countries to see them all. [/QUOTE]
