Title: Employment, Citizenship, and Services of General Public Interest
Abstract: Abstract Everyone knows the tale of the baker’s wife, written by Jean Giono and immortalized on the screen by Marcel Pagnol and the actor Raimu. The baker’s wife is fickle and deserts home and bakehouse to follow her lover. How can a baker live without a wife? He makes the bread and she sells it, and the loss of their married love means that he loses all will to carry on at all. So the baker goes on strike, as it were, making but one simple demand: if she returns so will the bread. Deprived of its bread, the entire village intervenes to bring the baker’s wife back to her husband and thus restore, along with conjugal love, an employment relationship that is indispensable to the bakery.
