Not really, this process has been LONG in the making. OFFSHORNG started a long time ago. Yes dues to Fed. G'ment mandates, EPA, OSHA, SSI, other Employer mandates/issues (401K, Health insurance, etc.) Employees cost the Employer a poop load of $$$$ in the U.S. and in the "western" EU countries
The European elections in June should prove damaging to the left and globalists. Nationalism is surging.
Certainly hope your are omniscient, many European peons have had enough, will they try and do a Brexit with the E.U. Parliament?
