Suppose I've got a contract with a really big building corporation. They choose
to ignore every right that was granted to me in a mutual contract and demand
that I do grant them all their rights, no they even send treatening letters,
bullying supervisors and the likes if I don't instantly comply. They even demand
to be granted rights (which weren't in the original contract) or else I'll be
out on the street (and they don't even have the right to do that according to
law). Protests and letters from my side are simply ignored and complaints about
not honoring the contract are shoved into the round archive. So I ask my lawyer
what can I do about that kind of behaviour. He says well you are absolutely in
your right according to the law and this building corporation is a case of
extreme bastards playing very rugh (In his words 'I've never come acros anything
remotely similar in all my career') but it'll cost too much money and can take
decades if you wanne get your grievance settled. I'd advise you to keep a low
profile, swallow your grievance and comply. So where does the government enforce
my rights in all this, except maybe for stating somewhere that I'm supposed to
have them?
Do you think it might be different in the States? If so your legal system indeed
is much better then ours.
