> PARIS : THE FIRE RAISER

Look to your unions and to your social welfare systems. Wean yourself from the teet of the government dole. Do not blame the West for viewing the reality of global commerce for what it is. You are losing jobs as we are to a culture without collective bargaining and low expectations for wages. Realise that your competitors for manufacturing jobs are working upwards of 60 hours a week as a standard. How about you, 32 hours? And at what wages? This is the reality, it is time we all faced it.
