Do you have the RIGHT to a job?

Apparently in Britain you do.

A young woman owns a hair salon and is sued for $8000 and has to pay because she didn’t hire a Muslim woman who wouldn’t remove her head scarf.

There is a law, the treaty of Lisbon, that has as part of it’s concept:

Everyone has the right to engage in work and pursue a freely chosen or accepted occupation.

So the question is, does everyone have the right to a job even if the job giver doesn’t want to hire you?

I guess in Britain (coming soon to a country near you) you do.

Under EU regulations and Directives, bad employees are like herpes—you can’t get rid of them and even trying is an expensive exercise in futility. 

I knew that to be true in the early-to-mid 1990’s and haven’t had any first-hand follow-up since then, but stories like this seem to jive with my old impression of European Union employment law.

Could that be the reason that you have young adults who have never had a paying job up through the age of 25 or later (but living off stipendium) and employers make a blood sport out of poaching proven employees from one another?

It seems that the EU system of employee protections has only created an inertia in the workplace that provides strong disincentives against hiring untried
labor.

...for great justice
