The US has fallen victim to propaganda that demonizes Unions - for the purpose of higher profits and HUGE salaries for UPPER-level managers and CEOs. US people and workers are JUST STUPID for allowing this to develop since 1950. Don't think it IS stupid? You as a worker could (?) be having MORE days off AND making a higher salary AND US society would be stronger and more STABLE as a result. Only a few, the CEOs and upper-income developers would have to tighten their belts. WHAT is NOT to like? And PLEASE, don't warn of a communist takeover - it NEVER happened in Germany or Australia - that's a red herring!

"What was the main problem in the French economy?
Unemployment is high and the government's finances are weak. "France's fundamental economic problem," the OECD says, "is a lack of growth." The latest figures for economic activity (gross domestic product or GDP) for the first quarter of the year(2016) show growth of 0.5%."
