France's employment laws have often been seen as ludicrously generous to employees, but this latest court decision really does take them to a new level of absurdity. (Incidentally, apologies for the DM link - I read the story in The Times, but it's paywalled).

Re: Dying on the job
I too read that in The Times yesterday and had to check the date. Had it been 1 April I would have taken it in the spirit of a joke, but since it was not I expect we can see this sort of thing being introduced by Corbyn if he ever gets the chance.

Re: Dying on the job
Seems to me that the employer is clearly trying to wriggle out of its responsibilities, as the man was clearly "on the job"

Re: Dying on the job
Since the chap's death was regarded as work-related injury, does it follow that had he survived he could legitimately put the young lady's charge* on expenses?
