My husband is a construction project manager and we are looking at moving to France if a contract comes through. It will be only the second job he has done in Europe. The first was in Germany. Although he admired the efficiency, there were some major stumbling blocks. Here are a few questions based on that experience:

What are the "business hours" in France?
How important are labor unions?
Will workers work overtime on a regular basis?

Thanks in advance for any insight in the abor conditions there.
