FRANCE - ECONOMY - LABOUR - REFORM - STRIKE

FRANCE, Paris: High school students and youths demonstrate on the rail tracks of Rennes' railway station, western France, during a protest march opposing the government's labour reforms on March 17, 2016. The contested reform is designed to inject more flexibility into the labour market by dropping key measures that would have benefited smaller companies. In a significant change from the original text, French Prime minister said on Monday that small and medium-sized companies would not be able to unilaterally introduce flexible work practices into their working week.
