After the owners of the Lejaby lingerie factory in
Yssingeaux won court approval in January to fire about
half their 450 employees in France and shift production
to Tunisia, the company found itself thrust into the
center of this year’s campaign.
To some extent, other former colonies like Senegal and Madagascar profit from this too, but they're much farther away from France than Tunisia and Morocco (which are 2 hours away by plane and 24 hours away by boat) and have much less infrastructure to support industrial development (such as roads, ports and a decent electrical grid).
If fired with a sensible (defined by law) severance package, then absolutely not.
These rules made much more sense when they came into application mostly during the forties. Back then, just after the war, there were good reasons to be wary of the industry owners, who massively "collaborated" with the Germans (because you know, business is business), and deem them guilty until proven innocent.
