Morning Star.png More Strike against New Labour Law The Morning Star, London, 17 May 2016 Strikes will take place across France again today, with further stoppages planned later in the week as resistance to the government's new labour law grows. Lorry drivers are set to put up roadblocks around major cities and workers on the Paris metro will also walk out. Other rail workers are expected to join them tomorrow, while air traffic controllers say they will join the fray from Thursday. Massive waves of strikes and demonstrations have rocked France after the government, unable to get the regressive law through parliament, used article 49.3 of the constitution to issue it as a decree. The law lengthens the working week from 35 to 46 hours, cuts statutory redundancy payments while capping those made for unfair dismissal and places new restrictions on trade union activity.
