Title: The Miserable French Workplace Author: Pamela Druckerman Source: NY Times

*Date:* May 12, 2016

*Summary:* Labor laws are the main topic of conversation here. The government has battled unions and other groups for months over a bill that would, among other things, make it easier to fire people when a company is losing money. This week, short of votes, it forced the bill through the lower house by decree (if a measure on Thursday to block this move fails, the bill will go on to the Senate).
