Hi Rene2ram,
Eventhough Labor unions may help the employees having stable jobs, these may over a period of time may result in lazy workforce due to too much of Job security and hence resulting in inefficient and loss making companies.
I support some kind of Labor law which does not allow layoff of employees whose experience with the company is less than say five years.
This will prevent companies to hire say 10000 workforce in one year and layoff 11000 workforce in the following year.
In some cases companies may exploit by having employees work more than the stipulated number of hours without paying overtime. But workforce with job insecurity may not necessarily mean efficient one. A workforce with some job security will go a long way in improving the morale of the employees and thereby increasing efficiency of the company.
Again the company should retain the right to fire an employee on a case by case basis if the conduct of the employee is not acceptable.
Thanks
