"May 1st was established as a public holiday by Article L. 3133-4 of the French Labour Code on May 1st, 1947. This article states: 'May 1st is a public holiday and a day off work.'"
"According to an OpinionWay poll, commissioned by small business lobby group the Confédération des Petites et Moyennes Entreprises (CPME), just shy of 74 percent of people were in favour of 'allowing employees [who volunteer] to work on May 1st in local shops, with double pay.'"
May 1st is a public holiday in France established in 1947, mandating a day off for most workers. It is the only holiday requiring paid time off, with exceptions for essential services. A recent poll shows 74% support for allowing voluntary work on this day in local shops, with double pay. However, the proposal has sparked controversy, as it challenges the traditional significance of May 1st, which is closely associated with workers' rights and demonstrations.
