Why aren't French people allowed to work more than 35 hours/week?

Because they would riot and burn a few cop cars.

Asking for 5 was already a lot for all the Algerians.

Because at first, the limits were at 45-40h weekly to prevent abuse in factories and generate more employment by not letting employers bank in too much on every employee.
And as for everything else, it was pushed furether and furether to the point that the limit is now at 35h and naturally the unions want to lower it even more because "hurr we're working ourselves to death we need more money for less work"
And then they act surprised when industrial groups move their factories elsewhere.

how strict is the rule? is this a union only thing? do individuals have the ability to work more than 35h/week if they want to?

They are, you just have to pay them overtime, or hold them by the balls tight enough to make them work unpaid OT which is more common than you'd think.

What anglos don't get is that all those stereotypes only really apply to a shrinking protected class of workers. More and more people work as temps, permatemps or as self-employed contractors or even undeclared workers to which rules don't really apply.

Thing is, you can work over 35 hours, there are ways arorund it, like combining full-time plus part-time jobs, or several part-time. But if you only have one job, you have that cap on 35h and every additionnal hour is considered working overtime, which changes some elements on how much it is taxed for your employer, that sort of stuff.
Some employers are very lax when it comes to that and have no problem letting their workers work more if they need or wish to. However since this is a decades-old pet-project of the unions, it is most strictly enforced in sectors where they are most present such as industry. And it is a big (if not the main) reason why french industry is one of the least competitive in Europe, because every time an industrial employer tries to be a bit more strict, increase rentability by asking more work etc, all the usual suspects and far-left unions block the whole thing, get media attention and the employer gets attacked on every front because there is not way the employers and unions could do anything wrong (and don't you dare say otherwise on your TV news show or the unionised workers there will block it too!)

Most do but are paid like they only worked 35. I don't know anybody that leave immediately the job at 5h (outside of women of course but we are talking about working there right).

That's bullshit, don't listen, this is a jobless kid that wrote fanfics to explain why he can't get money to his mom.

They work a regular 40h a week but can claim extra days off to make up the difference. If you don't claim them, you lose them and in small teams it may be logistically not possible to take them, at least not when it suits you.

Because humans aren't made to be robotic slaves for their jew bosses

>t. CGT-Sup Forums

they need to free up jobs for Algerian migrants

Yes we should work 18 hour days for $0.10c an hour to compete with the Chinese, there's no way they would ship jobs overseas then!

Because we are still fond of culture unlike the Americans who only think about money. For example, our new Président can recite any Molière play by memory.

That's true for me at least. Collecting money has become somewhat of a hobby.

Legend has it he learnt it at 14 naked in the bedroom of his teacher, and now his wife.

How long until we get to see the first movie about these star crossed lovers.

I'm a 32 year old man -- how do I get a 13 year old girlfriend?

Why do American enjoy living in a commie dictature?

Wait until the end of his term to have a dramatic movie on how their pure romance was broken by the relentless assault of the perfid media and political opposition once they found out about the 2 millions hidden in a bank account in Switzerland.
The critic in France will be equally split, and nobody will give a shit outside of the country. It will get decent ratings on Rotten Tomatoes because only two american publications will have reviewed it.

Yeah, Moroccan culture.

Socialism.

I didn't really care about that question. My question is as a person not from a country where pedophilia is openly acceptable -- how do I date someone that is barely just older than a child? I'm looking to enhance my public profile and perhaps settling myself in for a future as your president.

Is this just something I need to go to france to experience?? I only make like 50k a year so technically I'm broke. Can I migrate as a refuge?

They started "dating" about a decade after he was done with his studies though.

Oh ok, so conceal the relationship through a "friendship". Do I reveal the fact I have genital warts before or after we sleep together. Much needed advice. Pls no bully.
