      6 weeks paid holiday, compensation days for longer work week, protection from unfair dismissal, free health care, 3 months maternity/1 month paternity leave…

      Not saying that there’s nothing left to do, but over the last 100 years things have definitely gotten better.

      The real risk is forgetting that these things were hard won and that if you give people a chance they can easily be lost again.
