I&#x27;m not sure where you get your &quot;European-style&quot; ideas from.  Anglo-style fungibility of labour hasn&#x27;t found any solutions before why would it suddenly start?  Weekends, pensions, paid sick leave, holidays, healthcare for all are all things that have come out of the union movement.  You&#x27;re not forced to join a union and well paid jobs almost never have unions.  Unions are for those that don&#x27;t have your bargaining position.
