France labor dispute: Paris protests descend into violence

Summary
Protests in Paris against a French laber reform bill have descended into violence.
At least 40 people injured, including 29 police officers, and 58 arrests, in this protests.
At least 75,000 demonstrators had convened in the capital as the upper house of parliament debated changes to employment laws.
The labor reform makes it easier for employers to hire and fire workers.
It would also relax the limit on working hours. The government forced the changes through the National Assembly last month without a vote.
Demonstrations against the reform bill began on 9 March and led to a massive demonstration on 31 March, when nearly 400,000 people came out in protest across France.

Opinion
I think that protests in Japan are more peaceful than that in France.
The labor reform bill in France makes it easier for employers to hire and fire workers. This is weak labor bill.
The labor bill in Japan is more strong. That makes it hard for employers to hire and fire workers.
But Japanese are more working than they are propered.
Japan has strong labor bill but that little works.
This situation is worse than it in France.
That is because Japanese have virtue of long work time.
There is connivance of overtime work.
It makes death from overwork.
