In Europe and the UK nearly every employee is a member of a union in stark contrast to the US. Employees also have employment contracts as a rule. By contrast, many if not most states in the US recognize "at will" employment. AT will is a two-edged sword -- it facilitates both mobility and downsizing. I do not see the French "rule" being adopted in the US either by law or as a general practice outside of hourly work or union agreements.
