François Chérèque of the CFDT trade union believes that “the objective is achieved”.
Bruno Julliard of student union UNEF now looks to “Maintain the pressure” after this “first victory”.
Why is it a victory if you cant get a job because someone else who can never be fired for incompetance or inefficiently has lifetime job security?
What the French labour system does in effect is reward lazy workers and punish employers and the unemployed who want to make living and improve their society economically.
The French economy is stagnated and shrivelling.
Foreign investment is going elsewhere while neighbouring European economies who have open their doors to development and trade are prospering.
The French have not learned from the riots in the suburbs by Muslims who came to their country for a better life but have been shut out by middle class bourgeoisie and pampered students and herded into ghettos.
France is creaking and on the verge of collapse.
now that they have been guaranteed work for life - they can put their Sociology degrees to proper use - but they will have a difficult time rationalizing the displacement of their suburban, poorer brethren....In America that kind of degree is more likely to ensure a job driving a Taxi...de Villepin was only trying to balance things out....there is more rioting to come...back to the suburbs - it's the immigrants' turn to riot...this cycle will never end....
The French know how to live - let's face it - they dress well, eat well, have the best haircuts, the best cafes, the classiest women, a beautiful language, great manners...I could go on. And their lifestyle is enviable - so half of me says - leave them alone - let them have their jobs for life for they can amuse themselves with the finer things in life - but the other half of me says - this is ridiculous in the modern world - and unfair to the employer, really, to have to hire and keep workers he barely tolerates....and maybe for life.
I think Prime Minister de Villepin has been greatly misunderstood and his acquiescence to the spoiled brats who eschewed program - will not French state who will reap no benefit from any ot this.
Cyril Ferez is still in coma.
Cyrill Ferez, a member of the Union SUD PTT is in coma after a brutally attack by the CRS (french police).
& now out they come the "liberal capitalism was great for my grannie's hip" experts, and to top it all off, RTE's piece "after weeks of violent unrest".
FUCK OFF.
maximum participation on one day 3,000,000 people.
maximum arrests 79 on that day and following.
only one serious injury - a 40 something old trade unionist who was too slow running away from the Cops.

look at that link kids. look at those letters "r-t-e".
They are your real enemy. They are the real foe of media freedom in Ireland.
Not the Sindo, Not the PDs. them. as always. Which is why so many FF elite types like to shag their well known faces.
I see you're putting you're degree in cursing to active use in the community. Look at the bigger picture, will you, and try and see beyond your tiny bunker. There is a great big world out there and it requires more than the myopic vision you bring to this French tale. The French are trying to run a country in very difficult times with a huge muslim population and a great many immigrants from their previous colonies. They are also a big part of the EEC. Little countries like Ireland tend to benefit more from this alliance than the bigger ones. In the old French world, the status quo would be little problem - keep your job for life - enjoy the cafes and the good life - but we are in a new millenium now. If you are going to respond, attempt a response without expletives. All it accomplishes is to reduce the impact of your statement....
