I'm a citizen of 27 countries!

[RALFFERS 0]

I just found out this morning that if you have a passport of a nation that's in the European Union, it's like having passports to all 27 countries within the European Union...

I could work and live in any of them; not to mention have citizens rights.

I think I'll broaden my job search...

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

A fatal flaw in my opinion, the only outcome of it has been half of poland moving to britan. and romania. I also think we have most of india here now too. all of which have more rights, and get treated better than us. shame

I don't know about fatal flaw, but the system is flawed to a degree. As often is the case, the idea and intension are good - that just hasn't been the result when put into practice. Since some countries in Europe have far less jobs than others it was thought the issue could be solved by opening up the boarders; the problem begins when people heavily flock to 1 or 2 countries - that is the case with England and Ireland for example. I was in Poland about 3 years ago, on vacation, and at the time very low prices were being advertised for airfare across the entire EU; but if you read the fine print, it stated *excluding England*. That should tell you something...

I have never worked anywhere but the U.S. - and although I was born in Poland, this is home, and has been for 22 of my 27 years.; I see myself staying here. I wasn't really being serious in posting this thread; it was more of a "fun fact." It is because I have never worked anywhere else that I can't comment on employee rights, but I'll take your word for it - somehow I see preferential treatment being the case in some places overseas. Whereas here - provided you're legal and can prove it you get the same rights as everyone else. The only thing I can think of is "affirmative action" - it's a law that basically states that if 2 people apply for the same job, with 1 individual being a minority but both have exactly the same experience and education - the minority is more likely to be hired. I don't agree with this at all; again, I understand the reasons behind it in theory, but in practice it does a lot more harm than good. In affect, in favoring a minority group to remedy years of racism and discrimination all that's happened is the tables are turned; this is obviously no solution, but rather a continuation of an age-old problem...

Having said all that - the economy is in such a horrendous state that anybody and their mama' is struggling to find work.
