This is backwards. It is a good economy that made those employment laws possible. The good times came first.

Overdoing those employment laws will strangle the economy, pushing us around the cycle to hard times. It is the "weak men" who push for this, trying to avoid even the modest amount of suffering that is required to be competitive.

Backing off on those laws will delay collapse.

You really don't want to see the collapse. At that point, employment laws count for nothing. You work illegally or you starve.

This isn't backwards, unless somehow not touching employment laws is strangling the economy. Nobody is trying to overdo those laws; they're mostly fine, but businesses these days increasingly try to skirt them and make such practices the new default.
