I beleive France is a very socialist country. There was a story when France Telecom got private as Orange and new bosses put enormous pressure on employees to get them quit and not lay them off, because laying-off people is very expensive in France. It caused 35 (!!) suicides, and three bosses was jailed for that last December [1]
I wonder, will Uber escape signing backdated contracts with all their drivers in France (and what if some of them are illegal migrants?) or will it have to properly lay them all off, with compensations etc?
I also wonder what would be an economy of Uber in France with all their drivers being employees. Will it be 2x or 3x price? Even then it is somehow better than shameless official Paris taxi drivers.
