The government's proposals to amend the code du travail have been hotly contested by unions. One activist started a petition on Change.org called "Loi Travail - non merci" which in just 5 days has garnered 360000 signatures. Proposals to reform the termination procedures, limit compensation awards by the prud'hommes, an arbitration court, make the 35 hour laws more flexible and limit unemployment benefit payments to a shorter period are described as "cut and paste" of the employers' proposals.
The government believes labour reform will improve competitively, but clearly will have their work cut out.
