Nightly labor protests are continuing in France against a new law that would weaken worker protections. The movement is dubbed Nuit Debout, “Rise Up at Night.”

Benoit, French school teacher: “I came here to protest against the ever-increasing downgrade of working conditions, against this liberal economy, which wants to give full powers to companies and heads of companies. And that’s the reason why I’m here.”

Since March 31, protesters have been gathering each night in Paris and other cities in a movement some have compared to Occupy Wall Street or Spain’s Indignados. Critics of the new French labor law say it will lead to worse working conditions and more layoffs.
