There is a positive side to the skewed UK/EU employment conditions, in so far that it helps make the UK an attractive proposition for businesses to invest here. I would agree, that there is little comfort in this right now, but the UK could be the first country to see investment and employment prospects when things bottom out and start to turn around. I know that when your livelihood is threatened, there is a sense of injustice when you know that your European colleagues enjoy a more protected workplace.
If anyone feels that they are under threat of losing their job, there must be many. Think about how you will deal with unemployment now, before it happens. I mention this, because its happened to me a few times and it truly is devastating.
BTW Unemployment is not a disease, its a reflection of someone else's failure to run the business, so do not allow feelings of failure.
