In France, unions and student groups have called a general strike for next week against a new employment law that will make it easier for companies to fire young workers. Over half a million people filled streets across the country this weekend in protest. According to a new poll, 68 percent of French citizens are opposed to the measure. The government has stood firm on the First Job Contract law, which allows employers to fire workers under the age of 26 years old for any reason during a two-year trial period.
