In several significant ways French law no longer complies with European (European Union and Council of Europe) law. This deprives salaried employees of certain guarantees while placing employers in situations that are legally uncertain. Since 2010, European Union social law – originally designed to protect people at work – has come under pressure as a result of new European Union economic orientations enacted by member state governments in the name of business competitiveness. |
