No what I am saying is, that its all fine and well, from the workers and unions standpoint, dictating all these things, but the cost is borne by the company. This little move will cost all companies a fortune. Piling endless costs onto companies is not the best way of keep unemployment low. Unions, in particular don't seem to realise that. Whats the point in helping workers with one hand, when it is choking the companies with the other?
