To sum it up..they passed some laws which protect employers..and a bunch of lazy bums are rioting because they think companies should be forced to hire them.
Is that the gist of it?
And we are supposed to try to be more like THEM??
(Has anyone gotten Frenchie Kerry's take on this?
The law allows employers to be able to get rid of younger employees. Right now employers are reluctant to hire someone they can't fire.
The French are seriously screwed up.
The plan, known as the "new jobs contract," is meant to increase employment among less privileged youths by making the labor market more flexible. However, it does away with classic protections. Students fear the jobs law will leave youths more vulnerable than before, and eat away at long-standing measures that protect employees as France primes itself to better compete in a globalized world.
No they did not. They passed laws which make it easier to hire someone.
Okay, who puts money into a bank if you can not get it out ? No one does. Ditto for employees. Who hires someone if you can not fire someone ? Ans, almost no one.
