Uh huh. and , notoriously, that economic powerhouse is based on principles the exact reverse of "sack 'em after 90 days". Based in fact on principles of high two way employer and worker loyalty, of very long employment periods (the 'job for life'); on a VERY high level of in house training.
I very much doubt that Japan would be the powerhouse you extoll had they adopted Mr Key's "hire 'em and sack 'em after 90 days" principle.
Japan is a totally bad example for your argument. It is everything that this bill is opposed to, and this bill is opposed to all the principles that made the Japanese economy so strong.

Brilliant idea!
You can go first.

Dave, some people just need to be on the other end of the stick to understand that sometimes, or maybe, just maybe they will read the above & the penny will drop.
No law is perfect & no law will protect all wrong doings from either side, but right now, at this point in time, I strongly believe its in the best interests of ALL of us.
Unemployment figures are heading which way?
Should we encourage employers to employ or lay off?
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

Life would be so much easier if you addressed questions with a simple answer.
So labour saving devices helped, rather than move the factories to low wage countries like the yanks did? Fair enough. Then the Yanks flew in jets to DC asking for a bail out.
In my experience, as others have said, good employers get good employees who stay, bad ones don't. Unfortunately, there are some wage slaves who will work well, but who won't stand up for themselves, and they can easily be taken advantage of.
I know a guy who has been a factory manager for years and years, he mentioned one day how he didn't know how anyone could live on $23,000 a year. Obviously had never done his own maths, as at the time his workers on the (then) minimum wage were earning about $18,000.
