Work Worker’s compensation in Europe

1 Upvotes

I was wondering what kind of processes exist in European countries when you sustain a workplace injury.

In the US, if the company you work for doesn’t comply with a worker’s comp claim, you have to go through an extensive bureaucratic process that makes minor claims hardly worth it if at all most the time.

Health issues from work were the final straw that made me quit my most recent job and I’ve paid somewhere in the region of $400 in a span of two months for work related health problems that my former employers simply “don’t cover”.

Foreign How well known is Wales?

Upvotes

Hiya all, I'm from Wales and travel across the EU quite frequently, whenever someone asks where I'm from, I usually tell them Wales (even though technically we're not a sovereign state), sometimes I get responded related to Gareth Bale and Wrexham, and often people haven't got a clue until I say UK. So I was curious, in your country, how well known are Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland as separate countries? Diolch all :)

There's a lot of complaints from the US about data centers energy and water use, noise, privacy concerns and wastefulness in general. Are they less wasteful and noisy in the EU due to regulations?

It seems like Rugby is popular in the British Isles within Europe, adding France and perhaps a part Italy to the list.

Also Cricket seems to be the most popular sport in the world so to speak.

Culture Does your country have wall poems?

15 Upvotes

A wall poem is a poem that is applied to a wall or building, and sometimes under a bridge, seen only when it opens.

Does your country have any, or many, what were the first ones, any favorite wall poems?

Leiden was the first city in the Netherlands with wall poems (Muurgedicht). It is also home to the most texts, thanks to the 'Poems on Walls' project.

The first wall poem was installed in 1992 and was by the Russian poet Marina Tsvetaeva .

The poem De Profundis by Federico García Lorca was the 101st wall poem in 2005, after which new Leiden wall poems were added again in 2010.
