[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3183084, member: 3099"] Unions are a huge deal in most of Europe. When I was at Baker Hughes our main plant was in West Germany. At that time they had a "journeyman" system tied into their colleges for most skilled trades. Once working on a job, they got 6 weeks paid vacation/leave per year and the benefits were just nuts. Also they tended to work their entire career at one or two employers. Now getting more in-line with the O/P. When the wall came down they were really pissed over the tax increases they had to pay to feed, house and educate all those people in East Germany who had basically nothing. They weren't happy at all. How they got from there to being OK with opening their borders to every muslim country on that side of this rock? I haven't the foggiest... [/QUOTE]
