Why are French unions striking despite EU protection?
Listeners have a lot of questions about the European Union and the UK's referendum on whether to leave or remain.
PM asked the 大象传媒's Europe correspondent Damian Grammaticas and assistant political editor Norman Smith to answer a selection.
Damian Grammaticas answers Susan Ellis question: "We are constantly being told that the EU protects workers' rights. So why are the French workers striking against new French laws which increase working hours, increase pension age and make it easier for employers to hire and fire staff?"
