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"

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.
