Hard to write this without using too inflammatory language. It's not an either or, a society can criticize bad conditions while being unable to provide labor protection laws. It says something about the country that is unable to do so, it might say something about the power of global enterprises if it happens in multiple countries, and it definitely says a lot about the importance of unions, how much their diminished power is felt now. That's not limited to one country - but leads a bit far away from this specific french court decision. On the other hand, all of these contexts play into conflicts like this one.
