Move over unions- French bosses can protest too. (http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/move-unions-french-bosses-protesting-27274018)
France makes it notoriously difficult to run a business. And now the company owners are protesting in the streets of Paris.
Several thousand French business owners, particularly from small companies, demonstrated Monday in Paris to plead with the government to simplify regulations and make it easier and cheaper to hire.
Protester Jean-Pierre Hutin, a hotel owner, urged more flexibility for part-time work, while others complained that layers of taxes and labor rules have made it impossible for France to compete globally.
