France Surrenders - Again

Thanks to a hot tip from one of our covert sources in Europistan, we see the Fwench have surrendered again. That white flag must be getting pretty worn out by now. This time the government surrendered to its own young people who were whining and crying over a new job law that allows employers to fire young employees during a two-year probationary period.

Obviously, the Fwench kids and the unions who supported them have no clue what “at will employment” is. For the education of our Euro-peon friends, let me explain: “At will employment” is how most of us here in America work. Basically, the rule is that I can quit any time I want to and my employer can fire me any time he wants to. It keeps us both honest.

Unfortunately, under the rules of New Socialism in Europistan, this is considered inhumane so young people across the pond have nothing to fear ... except for the loud swirling noise as Europistan slowly flushes down the toilet of history. I urge the Fwench kiddies to enjoy it while they can. Pretty soon, all that cheap labor from the Middle East will replace every one of them. One way or another ....

France To Scrap Youth Job Law
_{Monday, 10 April 2006, 09:38 GMT 10:38 UK}

PARIS (BBC)—French President Jacques Chirac has announced that the new youth employment law that sparked weeks of sometimes violent protests will be scrapped. He said it would be replaced by other measures to tackle youth unemployment.

Millions of students and union members have taken to the streets over the last month in protest against the law, which made it easier to fire young workers. Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin said the law’s aim had been to tackle high unemployment among the young.

The law, known as the First Employment Contract or CPE, introduced a new work contract for under-26s. It was to allow a two-year trial period, during which employers could end a contract without explanation. The plan to replace the law was announced after a meeting between the president, Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin and other senior ministers on Monday.

Speaking in a live television address, Mr de Villepin said the president had accepted his proposed changes and that the new measures would be presented to the various sectors concerned during Monday. He said he was convinced that the only way of addressing joblessness in France was a better balance between flexibility for employers and security for employees.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
