You would think that the industry would pack up and leave. They will hang in there if they can still make a profit.

Otherwise, it is offshore... to Asia. A bit of irony here — wonder if the Chinese are less of a pain than the French government.

The scary thing is that if Hollande were POTUS and did this I think his popularity polls would start coming in extremely high.

These businesses who supported this “uber socialist” will call-in favors to keep themselves from the tyranny sure to become reality when a country would rather spend what they haven’t, yet are delusional enough to think they have any hope of being solvent in the future. Just like CA, NY, IL, to name a few. These socialist/communist will keep the games going till it ends, then it will get really ugly when the succubus French find themselves digging in the trash for McDonalds burgers and fries. Couldn’t happen to a better bunch of ignorant European socialist sheeple.

Easiest way I know to be a firm that doesn’t fire workers is to be a firm that doesn’t hire them in the first place.

As I understand it, this is the basic reason why unemployment is the way it is in France and likely, other socialist countries. They just don't have common sense in the way their governments operate.

and that's why unemployment in Spain, France and Italy are so high. The cost of firing is too high, so companies just don't hire -- they contract or take temps etc.

This is very bad for young employees as they have no job security at all.
