You have got to be kidding...
The employer (who risks everything) should be beholden to the employee (who risks nothing) when that employee has the freedom at any time to leave their job?
Because they want a specific day off?
Really?But you weren't FREE to do otherwise.
This is a discussion about freedom, not personal preference. If you want the latter to dictate society be prepared to outlaw gays, athiesm and all religions not Christian, salt, etc.You DO know what the term "freedom" means, right? Hint: it has nothing to do with the subjective concept of convienience. Employees in the US as just as free to not work a job that requires weekend work as they are free to CHOOSE such a job.
What you propose is eliminating that freedom altogether, because YOU like your weekends off. I honestly can't believe I'm actually reading that...Umm, okay? Your point?
Word check: compulsory. All German males MUST perform this service. How does that equate to the Selective Service system which is not used?
Sorry to be harsh in my earlier comments this post, but really?
