I believe the Danish have replaced most laws that make dismissal difficult / risky and instead developed a strong unemployment insurance / welfare system. Companies need to be able to adjust their workforce quickly. And it's a lot easier for an employee to say "go screw yourself" to an abusive employer if they know they won't be out on the street if they lose their job.

I also support a stronger social net funded by taxes instead of distortionary forces like "strong employment laws".

Basic income does the same thing for the distortionary minimum wage.
