  5. In French clashes have broke out on a nationwide debate over working rights. French currently has protections for workers. This protection against workers being laid off unexpectedly is enjoyed by many workers. This has the people in an up roar, wondering why the government wants to take away this protection. Government officials say they are removing the protections, because they want employers to hire more people. The law makes it hard for businesses to hire more workers.This is cause workers can not fire people when maybe they aren't the better worker.
