Fuck the GDP. It does not trickle down to the working class.

When the French clock off at 6pm, they really mean it
A new labour agreement in France means that employees must ignore their bosses' work emails once they are out of the office and relaxing at home – even on their smartphones
Just in case you weren't jealous enough of the French already, what with their effortless style, lovely accents and collective will to calorie control, they have now just made it illegal to work after 6pm.
Well, sort of. Après noticing that the ability of bosses to invade their employees' home lives via smartphone at any heure of the day or night was enabling real work hours to extend further and further beyond the 35-hour week the country famously introduced in 1999, workers' unions have been fighting back. Now employers' federations and unions have signed a new, legally binding labour agreement that will require staff to switch off their phones after 6pm.
Under the deal, which affects a million employees in the technology and consultancy sectors (including the French arms of Google, Facebook, Deloitte and PwC), employees will also have to resist the temptation to look at work-related material on their computers or smartphones – or any other kind of malevolent intrusion into the time they have been nationally mandated to spend on whatever the French call la dolce vita. And companies must ensure that their employees come under no pressure to do so. Thus the spirit of the law – and of France – as well as the letter shall be observed.
That's right. While we poor, pallid, cowering Brits scurry about, increasingly cowed by the threat of recession-based redundancy and government measures that privilege bosses' and shareholder comfort over workers' rights, the continentals are clocking off. While we're staring down the barrel of another late one/extra shift/all-nighter, across the Channel they're sipping sancerre and contemplating at least the second half of a cinq à sept before going home to enjoy the rest of that lovely "work/133-hours-per-week-of-life" balance.
C'est all right pour some, quoi?

In the old days it was common for plenty for family owned biznesses to be opened until 10pm or later. If you have your own bizness the fruits of labour goes to your family.
However nowadays "lesser mortals" do not have their own biznesses. We need laws to protect these people from being exploited. Unfortunately the PAP & their cronies control many businesses & it is not in their interests to help the "lesser mortals.

Family business is family business.
If you're an employee, you should not be expected to work beyond the stipulated working hours. And that includes work-related phonecalls, emails, SMSes.
They are trying to prevent the psychiatric disorder rate in France from rising.

"One in seven prescriptions in France includes a psychotropic drug and more than 50 percent of the unemployed—1.8 million—take psychotropic drugs."
"In France, mental health costs have soared, contributing $400 million (€361 million) to the country’s deficit."

If life is only about working, worrying, eating, fucking and sleeping. Then might as well go back to stone ages.
Be like me, retire early, sit back, have a beer, and enjoy the world fighting.
