Okay always has been a bit of a problem but it has plumbed new depths over the past few years.

Ken,

I think the French labor protests you were referring to were these:

"Protesters are bitterly opposed to the First Employment Contract (CPE), which allows employers to end job contracts for under-26s at any time during a two-year trial period without having to offer an explanation or give prior warning."

That's the latest one, the last one was caused because of high unemployment amongst the mainly immigrant youth in France
