In Europe people receive 6 weeks paid vacation and big Christmas bonuses. Companies value their workers and treat them right! Here in the states a good company starts out with 1 or 2 weeks paid vacation and after 5 years you get 4 weeks vacation. Lots of companies here do not pay vacation pay because they are not forced by law to pay for vacation. These companies that do not pay vacation pay to their full time employees should be fined period! Americans deserve the same as Europeans and that is 6 weeks vacation pay per year and a bonus at Christmas! And please don't tell me that I don't know what I am talking about because my entire family lives and works in Europe and I myself worked in Europe for 7 years. Americans get screwed by greedy companies and CEO's that don't give a hoot about their workers. American companies will work their workers to death with low pay, no health insurance, and no vacation pay while the CEO and family live in the lap of luxury. Most Americans can't even afford to take a vacation because of their low wages.
