Abstract:
|
The case examines the new job law 'CPE' and how it could have led to more
flexibility in the French labor market. However, protests, strikes and
demonstrations in France by millions of students and workers that paralyzed the
country led to its repeal.
The case highlights the reasons for the failure of the French government in
getting the law accepted by its people and its implications thereof. It
elaborates on the French labor market and the prevailing employment conditions
in the country. The case also discusses the various
employment contracts in France and examines how the changing
global business environment has led to difficulties in
continuing with the labor-friendly French social model.
