'last chance for socialists' (who just won the most cities ever in the most recent nationwide election and hold 21 out of 22 regions)

'the end of French socialist' - they wish

'the woefully discredited 35-hour week' - only in their incessant propaganda about it, not in reality (they contributed to the biggest ever surge in job creation in France, and are strongly supported by most of those who benefit from the regime)

'ultra left wing Hamon' - like Blair is ultra right wing.

blah.

About the "35 hours week", one interesting thing to notice is the fact that, although the new law allows it, only a very small number of companies that had signed a working-time reduction agreement have repealed it...

Melanchthon: although the new law allows it, only a very small number of companies that had signed a working-time reduction agreement have repealed it...

how would employees typically react if companies tried to repeal it?

Truth unfolds in time through a communal process.
