This is not legitimate labor unrest. This is a bunch of punk kids, agitated by leftists, rioting because they can get fired if they don't do their job (which is only 35 hours a week (and lots of breaks), with 6 weeks of vacation anyway).

It's much ado about NOTHING. No legitimacy to it.

France is out of control.

I do not have enough factual information to determine the legitimacy. France will need to figure it out for themselves.

According to media reports. I have worked in europe, and they do have a shorter workweek than we do. The holiday weeks sort of make up for the lousy socialized healthcare :)

When out of touch politicians tinker with people's livelihood, people get testy. And the french go on strike and riot. To see a similar parallel here, cruise any illegal immigration thread regarding the labor impacts.
