100 Years of Employment Law in the UK and France
Inspired by Olympic fever in France and around the world this summer, the Anglo-French group has prepared comparative timelines of impactful employment laws in France and England since the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris.
France has been celebrating the return of the Jeux Olympiques to Paris after 100 years with a flamboyant opening ceremony along the Seine and an impressive medal hold. The Paralympic Games will conclude on Sunday and have seen more than 4,000 athletes competing in 549 medal events.
