After two months of consultation, French Labor Minister, Muriel Pénicaud, and French Prime Minister, Edouard Philippe, officially presented five orders on August 31, 2017, proposing "36 concrete measures" to carry out a radical reform of the French Labor Code. The orders will be presented shortly to five consultative bodies, which will include representatives of various trade unions. The texts will then be presented to the Council of Ministers on September 22 and will come into force in late September.
