I had a friend from France getting his undergraduate degree in the US Marvel at how much learning we were getting done, since we didnt spend half of every semester on strike.

There are good and bad unions everywhere, but I think the closed-shop restrictions in the US that force you to join a particular union as a condition of employment exacerbates the worst qualities of them here.

Again, I didn't say unions are bad, I said they're not the norm for every employee in europe

Um, some unemployed rioters and burning cars in France every single weekend would beg to differ with you.
