MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The upper house of the French parliament adopted on Tuesday a revised version of government’s controversial labor reform bill, according to its official Twitter page.
The 348-seat Senate passed the legislation in the first reading by 185 to 156 votes after a fortnight of debates.
The draft law was heavily amended by the Senate’s Conservative majority to make it more business-oriented.
The Socialist-controlled lower house of the parliament was forced to wave the bill through in May and will vote on it again next month.
