Events in France keep getting sillier and sillier. Wasn't these new Prime minister Manuel Valls supposed to be pro business?

So how does nonsense like this happen: France Prohibits Sending Work Emails Outside Working Hours

Via translation from La Vanguardia

Your boss sends you emails when you've already left work? Will you answer? In France, this is prohibited if the workday is finished.

This is stated in an agreement between the two unions, the French Democratic Confederation of Labour (CFDT) and the French Confederation of Managerial Staff Executives (CFE-CGC), and two sector employers technical consulting, engineering, computer services, human resources and consulting for an end to the endless day workers.

The advent of smartphones has been a positive change in many ways, but has also enabled the 'meddling' in our private lives of our working lives, something that the French authorities want to avoid.

Therefore, workers must turn off the phone and computer work for eleven hours and therefore have the right to ignore work emails sent out of hours. Meanwhile, companies are obliged to ensure that this measure is met.
