Riots erupt after French protests

I had to look it up, but it seems like a small thing being made a big fuss over.

Quote by: jose What's wrong with age discrimination in employment? Let's say you wish to employ an horny secretary Is there anything wrong with you preferring to employ people under the age of 40 because the job requires frequent physical exertions and it's quite obvious that a younger person will get the job done more efficiently? and if she doesn´t ..er shape up fire her arse, ring any bells tiny? :)

Heh! Totally misconceived analogy and laced with sarcasm too. I didn't know you had such warped humor, jose. I must have struck a raw nerve there! :)

Nobody is denying there are labor rights and these need to be protected, nor that the right to be only terminated for justifiable cause should be protected. However, not all labor rights are immuntable, these can be moderated, should be flexible to accomodate changes in the economy and custom in the industry. Indubitably, employees in their first jobs are generally less reliable, they do have fewer responsibilities and usually additional support. In the EU they tend to stay with their parents into their 30s, sometimes even after married.

And what sort of jobs are we talking about here? From what the critical left (morons) tells me, the terrible neoliberal jobs market is pure garbage servile-menial sales clerk crap. Who wants one of those for a couple of years?

Back it up, rmnunez. Certainly not in my experience.

:eek:

No, they don't. Perhaps in some of the newer, accession EU states staying at home is more common. But given that the majority of EU'rs are in Western Europe, I'd say your speaking out of your ass.
