I might also have used the wrong terminology here. (English isn't my native language.)

However, I know for sure that in Germany, it isn't that easy to hire and fire people on a whim. In the US this seems to be the case.

Just in case, let me also clarify this:

I don't care, if you think the American system is better than the German one. I simply made the statement that even if not all EU countries have rulings like Germany, it is surely harder to fire people on a whim.

And also the article didn't mention where this will occur.
