These are the same people who do not have enough "power" to get and/or keep at a job?
The really stupid thing is that the government is doing the only thing it can to help create a business climate that might create jobs-- making it possible for an employer to take a chance on an unknown entry level worker and then fire him/her if they don't pull their weight-- and it is this attempted change that they are rioting to stop.
So, they'd rather have no job, than a job that they can get fired from.
