One more, of the millions, of occurrences that I think should be highly encouraged but doesn't need blanket legislation.



how do you encourage this without legislation though? I keep having this issue when I try to figure it out in my mind.

no matter what you do, someone will be willing to "undercut" your work. If you don't want to take a job without 4 weeks paid vacation, the company will find someone who does, unless you're just so valuable that you're the only reasonable option; and lets be fair, very few people in the country actually have that kind of skill set.

Wrong. The skill set is not the only factor in the market. There is 'desirability of work.' IE, being a garbage man takes very little skill. Almost none. But very few people want to be one. So, they make enough money for a house and food.

As for vacations... that's the days they just choose not to show up. And they don't get paid for it. Why should they? It's their choice.

Doesn't really matter. I want people to lead a cultural change, not government force, every single time. Many companies in America are already doing this. People over here just aren't aware that it is popular overseas and haven't started demanding it here yet. It will eventually come.

I think it has to be left up to the companies. The encouragement comes from other companies trying it.

The companies are going to reap the benefits from better workers until the workers start thinking it's a God given right. That's the draw back and the balance.
