May Day in France: Who works and who doesn’t? • FRANCE 24 English
With a bill now before parliament to loosen the laws regarding France’s Labour Day, we take a look at why May 1 has a special status in France. It is the only holiday that, legally, must not be worked. We go into who can actually work on May Day in France and why it, but also other holidays in May, could potentially be changed.

Eh, makes sense to allow to work (who are willing) and pay 2x the rate.
All the time off, no wonder France cant pay for a military.
The Labor Movement may have started in the USA but it never succeeded here. Most don't know about May Day. Labor Day in the USA is in September. Too many people want to race you to the bottom, just so they can brag about how long, hard, and often they can take it from The Boss. There is far more to life than work and making money, but not to them. They romanticize the grind.
