Unions in France have vowed to keep fighting the country's new labor law, but admitted today (September 15, 2016) that dwindling support meant months of street protests were now ending, according to the Euro News website.
In the French capital, around 40,000 people rallied. In addition to Paris, Marseille and several other French cities saw protests.
The new law -- forced through parliament in July -- aims to help France's rigid labor market become more flexible by making it easier for firms to hire and fire.
But unions say it damages hard-won worker rights. Many French workers also view the new law as a government action designed to result in union busting.
