Hi Dave

There is a significant struggle going on in France over a new labor
law that takes away the social protections from young workers. I just
did an article about it for OhmyNews.

"French Youth Up in Arms Over New Labor Law
'First Employment Contract' gives employer right to fire indiscriminately"

60&rel_no=1

It will be interesting to see what develops over the next week or two in
this situation. Someone noted that this law is a step toward taking away
the social labor legislation from all French workers.
