Wait usa doesn't have any of that? Lefties, let them have the country, it was never worth a damn anyway.

Paid sick leave exists in some US states, for example vermont. It’s not a lot but it’s better than nothing.

Indeed, but nothing is for free and we pay for the so-called "free" services through taxes. Yes, the 1st Class EU members are way ahead of the piss poor US labor laws and public services. Thanks to the MAGAts, working conditions will become 3rd World.

One matter, the blue-collar apprenticeship system in Germany is outstanding and the only organization that comes close are the trade unions in the USA, but it depends on which local you are in. Some are superb and some are WTF.

I love the way Germany has trade unions that are trade wide rather than smaller unions. I wish we could import that to America.

Australia could have been included here, the only missing one is free 'college' which is known as University here.

From the point of view of the Owners, the US is leading and the rest of the world has a lot of catching up to do.
