Les congés payés en France avant le Front Populaire : l'exemple des ouvriers parisiens de 1919 à 1935

Paid vacation in France before the Popular Front. The example of the workers in Paris, 1919 to 1935. Before the june 1936, vote that gave salaried workers two weeks of paid vacation, only a minority benefited from this right. Within the world of the workers, it was above all those with a status in private industry who had this rarely granted advantage. In Paris, the demand for paid vacations predated the Popular Front. It had appeared as early as 1919 in the workers' strikes before reaching a peak at the end of the 1920s. While it's true that it was not a major claim of the workers, it was nevertheless one conquest of the Popular Front that was already part of Paris's strikes in the preceding years.Sirot Stéphane.
