"""The massive protests are in some ways ironic. Protesters, mostly students, are asking the government not to change the status quo. Under current French law, merit in the workplace has little sway. Workers cannot be easily or inexpensively fired.As a result, employers are reluctant to hire new workers, resulting in an overall French unemployment rate of 9.6 percent. The CPE would allow employers to hire and fire workers who are 26 years old and younger any time within their first two years of employment for any reason.Villepin has said he hopes the measure will reduce youth unemployment from the current 23 percent, but union and student leaders say it will create a generation of "throwaway workers" who will have to churn through jobs until they are older than 26."""  -cnn.comWelcome to reality lazy bastards.. Stop protesting and fill out some job applications.
