Jobs Protests in France Continue

One student says "we don't want jobs"!

Another replies, "I don't know what we're yelling about! Loud! Noises"!

Unions are going to suck the life out of the French economy, if the government is unwilling to stand up to them. Thatcher did it 20 years ago. It can be done.

If they have the will.

A key provision of the proposed government contract is that employers can fire a worker under age 26 within 2 years without explanation.

Yes we could get all wrapped up in the "age 26" thing, I suspect this is a half measure to get it through.

But consider that. "At will" employment is a concept that is as foreign to them as McDonald's.

They're already Socialists. And they're at the crossroads.
