Before the labor bill, of which we know the basic structure, is officially proposed by the Government, youth organizations and unions in the Alpes-Maritimes have gone to war.
Thus getting ahead of their elders who will strike on March 9th, they will already be on the streets this afternoon from 3 PM at the Masséna tram stop.
Their motivations resemble a menu where every course from starter to dessert is considered.
They range from “the labor code is a daily protection for employees, not a handicap or a barrier to employment” to “young people want to be able to build a future with peace of mind” to “The law is there to protect the weakest, it is a condition of liberty because it guarantees equality.”
A hodgepodge of phrases and slogans that doesn’t say much and doesn’t go far, but which, evidently, appeals to these young people and motivates them in their ambitious action.
In fact, the goal is not insignificant: “We therefore call on the government to withdraw its current proposal. We advocate for progressive solutions to the crisis we are experiencing and ask the government to pursue progressive reforms to protect employees from new workplace hardships, to revive public investment, to allow young people to achieve autonomy, and to combat poverty and discrimination.”
Is that all? And when is the world going to turn upside down?
