PARIS (Reuters) - France will begin reforming the cherished labour code early next year by tackling the way companies can adjust working hours, the government said on Wednesday, in what is likely to be one of the last major policy drives of the Socialists' term.
Although the government expects a re-draft of the 3,800 pages of the labour code to take several years, a revamp of the 125 pages on working hours will be presented as soon as the first quarter of 2016.
