I think Americans often misunderstand, or simply do not know, how good European laws can get. Especially labor laws.

It is very easy to thinkthat however it works in the US, is how it must work everywhere, but every country in Europe has particularly unique laws. Many a US HR person has made the mistake of thinking only the US exists, and found that to be an expensive mistake while serving Europeans.

I sometimes think of when Toys r Us tried to establish themselves in Sweden and decided they didn't want anything to do with unions. They were without mail, garbage pickup and most other things for three months before they caved. Fun!

Wasn't it also Walmart that had this same issue in Germany? Like forced morning cheers for employees, which Germans found to be nuts

wait what. I don't think people do that HERE, even
