N2 - Working in the Netherlands, I have found the relationship between the American worker, business, and the state to be a surprisingly frequent topic of conversation among my Dutch colleagues. Simply put, they are totally perplexed.

How is it even possible, they ask me, that American workers get so little from their employers, their unions, and their government?
