Protesters, mainly students, opposed to the French government's new plan for reducing joblessness, march in Rennes, western France, Tuesday, March 7, 2006. The government has initiated legislation that makes it easier for companies to fire young workers, in the hope that flexibility would spur hiring of 18- to 25-year-olds. Banner reads: "Withdraw the CPE," referring to the Contrat Premier Embauche, or First Job Contract. (AP Photo/Vincent Michel)
