regardless of your personal opinions of France, the UK, the job market, various labor laws etc. this was a legal verdict that we have to accept as a fact unless you have your own personal opinion about democracy as well.....
I welcome the verdict as one of the first steps in the right direction when it comes to a civilized work environment which should be a legal one in the first place.
the discussion about a more liberal or socialist model could go on forever and it's up to the voters of each country to decide, the only thing which people shouldn't be free to decide is to illegally exploit the freedom given to you by the EU to do business in a neighboring country without respecting their laws.
Want to base aircraft and crews in France?No problem but you should do it according to French law, as simple as that.
