These illegal laborers tend to accept lower wages and zero benefits and are often reluctant to report abuse or maltreatment—each contributing to the propagation of social ills.

The result, Groux says, is French management often ignores them while preparing for layoffs and remains high-handed once negotiating begins. All that, he says, increases the allure and utility of insurrectional action - and pushes the limits of dramatic protest over time...
