Paris - France's lower house of parliament adopted measures to reform labour courts and speed up dismissal procedures, as the government made progress on the most sensitive parts of its pro-growth bill to lift the stagnating economy.
French MPs on Sunday passed measures to reform industrial tribunals to simplify the complex procedures which currently lead to lengthy delays in resolving labour disputes, typically surrounding the dismissal of employees.
