France might pass a law that lets people legally ignore emails after work

Some are calling it the "right to disconnect"

Imagine letting them pile up like this on the weekend.

This final note on the way out today, in which we announce the relocation of Marketplace World Headquarters to Paris.

I kid! I don’t get to decide, but boy if I did.

They’re talking about a new law over there that lets people ignore their work emails while they’re off the clock.

There was a labor union in Paris that had that in their negotiations a couple of years ago.

Didn’t really work out all that well, as you might expect.

So, yeah, I guess we’ll stay in LA.
