Paris : French President Nicolas Sarkozy cleared persistent doubts on eventual changes to the 35 work-hour week, one of the most popular social gain among salary workers.
The head of states told the French radio station RTL that he will keep the working hours the government of socialist Prime Minister Lionel Jospin (1997-2002) approved.
The conservative party Union for a Popular Movement (UPM) proposed last week to dismantle the reform yet union leaders warned that any such attempt will put social relations and public authorities on the opposite side of the fence.
France CGT leader Bernard Thibault and CFDT Union leader Francois Chercique, fought persistent rumors on changing the law that may lead to the subtle approval of deregulation measures.
The release adds that its goal is to call attention from the president and government on the consequences of such a political choice.
