Do you really think this will accomplish much? I doubt it. If France wants to remain competitive in the current economic environment it seem reasonable for them to have more flexible labour laws. Just my two cents.
ReplyDeleteFirstly University education used to be free in France, Britain and Germany. Free. Which allowed them to create that knowledge based working class business always goes on about. But under pressure from business and neo-liberalites these countries have introduced American style tuition. Dumb move. Extrodinarly contradictory.
ReplyDeleteAnd as we know, unemployment is a weapon to keep wages down. So creating a law where you can be fired arbitrarily after two years, aimed at young workers, creates a huge pool of just in time workers, temp workers, who if they demand better for themselves get kicked out the door.
