During the Reagan years here in the US, there was a union drive in Europe to force the gov’ts in at least a couple of countries to redefine full-time as 30 hours a week with no net pay cut. The ridiculous claim was, it would boost employment, when obviously the reverse is true.

Simultaneous with the French protestors, I saw a gaggle of young Germans demonstrating for the same thing at the Sindelfingen (Kreis Stuttgart) town hall.

There was also one report of a protest in Brooklyn.
