PARIS, June 28 (Xinhua) -- The French Senate adopted on Tuesday a more pro-business labor law bill, the French Senate said on its website Tuesday evening.
Controlled by the right wing, the French Senate changed the bill to a even more pro-business version, and adopted it with 185 against 156 votes.
The Senate extensively revised the text, including removing the 35 hours as the standard for working time, French daily Le Figaro reported.
Thousands of French workers took to street again across France on Tuesday to protest against the French government's plans to reform the country's labor law.
Prior to the start of the demonstrations, the head of CGT Philippe Martinez announced "a new day of actions" against the new labor code on July 5 when the French National Assembly will reexamine the bill.
The National Assembly will have the final vote on July 20. Enditem
