Abstract: In recent years (2003, 2004, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2015, 2016), a succession of legislative working time reforms in France have instrumentalised legal norms in such a way as to increase actual working hours while legally subordinating salaried workers to business "needs" (including the measurement of working time, overtime, block working days and Sunday work). In several significant ways French law no longer complies with European (European Union and Council of Europe) law. This deprives salaried employees of certain guarantees while placing employers in situations that are legally uncertain. Since 2010, European Union social law – originally designed to protect people at work – has come under pressure as a result of new European Union economic orientations enacted by member state governments in the name of business competitiveness.
