Movement Against the First Employment Contract in France

March 2006

The new French law, called the "Contrat Premiere Embauche,'' or CPE (First Employment Contract) lets companies fire workers under 26-years-of-age within the first two years on a job with little notice or severance.

13 universities have been on strike against the law for a week. Some universities are barricaded at their entrances. More than 30 French universities are now on strike against the CPE, according to student unions.

On February 16, students in Rennes attacked the préfecture (the government's adminstrative building for the Ille-et-Vilaine département) and built barricades outside it during a demonstration against the CPE.

On March 7, there were student and union demonstrations and strikes against the CPE in cities and towns across France. In Rennes, riot cops dispersed students occupying and blocking a train station. In Toulouse, students threw objects at riot cops and invaded the town hall. In Montpellier, the chamber of commerce was occupied by students and evicted by riot police. These are just a few of the many different actions that took place on March 7 and have been taking place over the last week or more.
