It is quite a commonly repeating story of American companies moving to Europe and bringing American work practices, only for it all to fail miserably and them having to adopt European work practices or close shop.
People in Europe are just not indoctrinated into the same view of what is “normal and how things are” as Americans so the levels of worker exploitation in America are seen as abusive and fought hard in Europe were Unions are still pretty strong.
As far as I’ve seen the only places were American work practices manage slip through pretty much unchallenged is totally unspecialized work in whole new work domains in countries which have copied mechanism for insecure piece-work from the US, so for example things like meal delivery and Uber drivers, and even there we see many countries in Europe starting to crack-down on it, for example by forcing Uber to actually employ its drivers.
Things have slid back in in Europe when it comes to worker rights and what people expect from the State in terms of taking care of the needs of Citizens, but nowhere as much as the US.
