Heck no - you are in debt enough already without that! German companies, on the whole, seem to have a less adversarial Industrial Relations system that has served them and their economy well for a log time. It is peculiar to them as their obsession with quality has allowed their companies to charge a premium for their goods. The gap however has gotten a lot closer over the years so their advantage in this area has mostly been swallowed up yet people still, for awhile at least, continue to buy from them on reputation alone - I wonder how much longer that will continue and I wonder what will happen to their IR then?

Germany dominates in the non-consumer market in many areas along with Japan. They are doing huge business with China.

Most of business is B to B and is something consumers never see.
