Labour Laws In France

Twitter has met a Thursday deadline to respond to France's communications regulator about whether the company can meet its legal obligations, a spokesperson for the regulator said. Arcom sent a letter on Monday to Twitter asking if it can meet its legal obligation to guarantee transparent information in spite of steep job cuts at the firm.

Opponents of France's controversial labour reforms took to the streets Thursday for the 14th time in six months in a last-ditch bid to quash the measures that lost the Socialist government crucial support on the left.

Protesters in Paris threw projectiles at police officers, who responded with tear gas, amid demonstrations on Tuesday by tens of thousands of people opposed to a contested labor reform.

After a month of often violent protests, French legislators are starting to debate a hotly contested labor bill that would make it easier to lay off workers and weaken some union powers.
