French Senate Approves Controversial Plan for Mandatory Unpaid Work to Fund Social Security

The French Senate has adopted a controversial measure requiring all workers to contribute an additional seven hours of unpaid labor annually to support Social Security, aimed at generating €2.5 billion each year. Critics, including former leftist MP François Ruffin, argue this exploitative demand burdens workers whose real wages have already declined. Ruffin specifically highlighted the economic struggles of frontline workers in sectors such as logistics and construction, attributing the crisis to poor economic decisions by Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire.
