Protestors hold a smoke bomb and a placard of the French General Confederation of Labour (CGT) worker's union of the dockers branch during a demonstration against the French government's planned labour law reforms on June 23, 2016 in Marseille, southern France.
Unions are protesting a series of labour market reforms that Valls had to force through parliament in May to avoid a vote, even after the bill was significantly watered down. However after more than three months of protests and strikes over the legislation, neither side is willing to budge. (Photo by Anne-Christine Poujoulat/AFP Photo)
