Re: Aaaargh (none / 0)
I hardly think that America is free of legal rigamarole. The argument is that if you have a system based on the rule of law, you end up with a lot of lawyers.

The difference is in the purpose of the laws. In American labor law the broad purpose is to support at-will employment, with the principal exceptions being unionized labor and government service. If the purpose was to provide worker protection we would have a kazillion laws to describe how to do that, instead.
