I am not surprised about Mondragon being a Spanish company. Labor regulations and overall poor work ethic make it darn near impossible to run a traditional business without taking out the whip.

My father, owner of a tiny bar, had to split it into 3 "partnerships" to make the social security tax somewhat bearable on the company, and motivate the two other bartnenders to put some effort, maximize sales and clean after themselves. Conscientious, hard-working people are hard to find for the hospitality business around these parts, and firing an employee here is awfully expensive... sometimes it's better to train a newbie and set the standards on the spot.
