Facing union pressure, the French government has decided not to convene the joint parliamentary committee on a bill allowing work on May 1st in proximity shops. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu announces proposals for these sectors and meetings at Matignon this week. Labor Minister Jean-Pierre Farandou met with unions and calls for in-depth social dialogue.
France's eight main unions sent a letter to Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu on April 12 protesting the expansion of work on May Day. Lecornu is temporizing by promising dialogue and a meeting with the Labor Minister. The bill, adopted by the Senate in 2025, is subject to an accelerated parliamentary maneuver.
