French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has visited a village bakery to buy several baguettes on Labour Day, reigniting a row with unions who argue that 1 May should remain a compulsory rest day.

The government has been encouraging bakers to work on 1 May, describing them as being “indispensable to the continuity of social life”.

Meanwhile, labour unions say staff in many cases could be pressured by their employers to volunteer to work or risk their employment contracts.

Let them shut down and have their day off. The day-old baguette may not work well, but we can present the French prime minister with one of the world’s finest baked goods that doesn’t mind an extra day on the shelf.

According to a company executive, Twinkies are on the shelf for a short time; he told The New York Times in 2000 that the “Twinkie is on the shelf no more than 7 to 10 days.”[63] The maximum shelf life was reported to have been 26 days, until the addition of stronger preservatives, beginning in 2012, increased it to 45 days.
