[DeTomaso] NPC - Europe's July/August holiday

[Pantdino]

Roland,

I think there is a huge difference between being allowed to starve or freeze to death and having 5-6 weeks of vacation per year.
Actually there is very little or no difference between what vacaation your employees get and what any unionized employee here gets.

The employees at the company I work with have 21 sick days per year (4 weeks of work days) and every single one of them uses every single day.
Then they have "life balance" days on top of that.  
All in addition to their 3-4 weeks of regular vacation

So they end up actually being off more than the Europeans and still complain.  
Laziness has overcome the West and will be its downfall.

Jim

This was the rule in the most mediterain states like France, Spain and 
taly. It was never the rule in Germany.
aybe, that it the reason, why we are so successful.
y workers get 24 days vacation plus 6 six plubic free days full paid per 
ear. Paid public free days vary, because we only have to pay, if it is not 
n a saturday or sunday. It varies between north and south Germany. Also, if 
hey are sick, they get full paid by me. I get a payback by the social 
nsurance.
ome times i don't like it, because i have to pay, but i also see the 
enefits we all have  from it.
o one over here has to steel or kill just for food and a warm place to 
ive.

 July/August in Europe is really magical - most countries basically shut 
 down
 and go on vacation!

 Charlie, please explain something I've always wondered about.

 If everyone goes on holiday in July/August, who is left to take  care of 
 all the tourists, hotels, restaurants, etc?

 Larry
