US CEO Says French Workers Have Three-Hour Work Day
First time accepted submitter M3.14 writes "In a letter addressed to French Industrial Renewal Minister, Maurice Taylor, chief executive of Titan, writes (French article with English letter) that it would be stupid to buy any factory in France since workers don't really work full time. He'd rather buy cheap factories in India and China instead and import tires back to France. He writes, 'They get one hour for breaks and lunch, talk for three and work for three. I told this to the French union workers to their faces. They told me that's the French way!'"
Just like in the US they bitch about only getting 8 weeks vacation and 2 years for parental leave.
The tenure problem is not nonsense.
If you think its nonsense, then you either havent been paying any attention or you have been writing off the endless stream of evidence as "propaganda."

Slaves are not paid. If you are paid and free to leave for a better job, you are not a slave. Possibly an idiot but not in any way a slave.
An education and a couple bucks will get you a cup of coffee. It does absolutely nothing to improve anyone's standard of living on its own. To the vast majority of jobs in the US, a degree of any kind is almost entirely useless. It's most certainly not worth paying ten or a hundred times what a worker overseas without one will do the work for.
Who paid for their education? Disproportionately the people you're looking to demonize. The government has no money but what it takes from its citizens first, so no, the government was not really who footed the bill, were they?
Violence is like duct tape. If it doesn't solve the problem, you didn't use enough.
that's the lesson, if you think you're boss is gonna do you a favour for destroying your family life when his boss is screwing down on them to cut work force... well, you're gonna have a bad time
This is a joke. I am joking. Joke joke joke.
please, fox just lies, saying other news networks are somehow as bad is ridiculous.
This is a joke. I am joking. Joke joke joke.
I guess it doesn't hurt the US provided your defense for the last 60 years?
I love Jesus, except for his foreign policy.
Actually we are asking people who benefit disproportionately to pay a [very] little extra for that privilege
They already pay a [very] lot extra, and don't get more roads or schools or fire protection than anyone else as a result.
15% of $100M still means they paid $15M. How much did you pay last year in taxes? Did you even pay income taxes last year, or do you count as one of the "47%-ers" (and don't give me that "waaaah, we still pay sales tax!" BS) leeching off the rest of us?
Yeah, I count as middle class and vote like a rich man - Because I can appreciate the ideal of "fairness". Making some people pay more for nothing ain't it.
