Also known as the "Magna Carta of French Labor," the Matignon Accords of 1936 were an agreement to help the French Labor movement. They helped set up collective bargaining, and all obstacles to union organization were removed.

Magna Carta placed certain checks on the absolute power of the English Monarchs. ...
