Students clash with riot police in Paris over labour reforms - Daily Mail

Enraged students took to the streets of Paris to rally against controversial reforms to working hours and staff protections, which President Francois Hollande insists are crucial to get France's failing economy back on track. The government say the reforms, which will make it easier for struggling companies to fire staff, will help boost the economy before next year's presidential election by encouraging firms to hire more people. But students have opposed the changes, which they say strip workers of protections. The proposal to extend France's 35-hour working week has also been opposed by both students and unions.
