At the Risk of Boring You

This is "an argument that matters".1.5 million workers and students in France have come out to demonstrate that it matters to them. Don't kid yourself, there can be only one winner in this argument for casualization and that is the employer. In Ontario, where I live and work, the government has embraced contract employment to the extent that many provincial government employees have been working on renewable contracts for more than 10 years. That means few benefits and, of course, no job security.
The position of most of the French left is that the new labour contract, allowing employers to take on youngsters without having to guarantee them a permanent job, is a step along the road which leads to casualisation, greater inequity, and the loss of workers' rights which they fought long and hard to secure.
I'd have to agree.
