Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

the little honest guy who's taking responsibility for his own life and trying to make a decent living, not privileged civil servants or spoiled workers who can remain in protected positions with little or no risk while having all the benefits for themselves while denying them to others.

Exactly how are school teachers or postal carriers responsible for denying a decent living to others?

By having acquired over the years that job protection and benefits are so cumbersome for employers that they won't hire the necessary staff on normal job contracts but make all sorts of manoeuvers to avoid the CDI, whether the employer is a corporation, a public company or a small business. That means that those not already inside will remain on the outside. In order to get the in, those already in would need to let go of some of their privileges. In the name of solidarity. But the principle of solidarity only applies for socialists when it's about taxing "rich" people or corporations.
