French police subdue riots over jobs law

PARIS (AP) — Police loosed water cannons and tear gas on rioting students and activists rampaged through a McDonald's and attacked store fronts in the capital Saturday as demonstrations against a plan to relax job protections spread in a widening arc across France.

Widespread discontent with the government has crystalized around a new type of job contract that Villepin says will alleviate France's sky-high youth unemployment by getting companies to risk hiring young workers.

The FarLeft believes that the best way to provide jobs is to force employers to make all hires for life. That way, once somebody gets a job, he will never need to look for work again. Also, companies will never hire anybody either for that very same reason. Jobs will be permanent, but there won't be any. Brilliant!
