recently people have been asking me why do I not write about the European Union, after all I am very pro-EU myself?the reason I've not written much about the European Union recently is that it seems to never fail especially recently to make an absolute joke of itself. One example the especially surprised me was social dumping.

Social dumping is when a company based in one part of the EU sends workers to another part of the European Union as in the part the European Union that they are based the and they earn less than in the part of the European Union are being sent to. The result is you end up with Portuguese workers in northern England and British workers somewhere in Italy. I myself last year actually learn legislation in detail, apart from the legislation being really complex the whole idea was to give Europeans a chance to work in any member state they wanted but I felt if they were only going to work in another member state as they were cheaper would it not only be unfair for the local workers but also the foreign workers who were being sent to that country.

It turns out that many of these workers are sent for many months at a time to work in foreign countries away from their families and friends. To me it would be a great deal fairer if the salary all over the European Union was the same. But the way things now stand with the economy in a bad state is that social dumping is becoming more common.

the other problem seems to be the euro, it turns out many of the poor countries like for example Greece are having huge problems. The fact is their industrie's are in trouble and their governments cannot take action over their monetary policy.the result is it seems likely that over the next few years a number of countries are going to have to leave the euro and I suspect if this downtime becomes a full on depression and European Union rules don't chang to understand every country is different than we could see many states just leaving work all together.

It reminds me of the old saying if you own someone £100 pounds and you can't pay you're in trouble. On the other hand if you own someone £100 million then its not you in trouble but them. In a way what is going on in the European Union emphasizes this point!
