The movement does succeed in establishing continuing education as a primary right associated with employment.
Grader A: partial
No anti-technology movement won a right to continuing education, and the US has no such right. France did create an individual right to training for employees in 2004 (DIF, 20 hours per year), which covers a measurable minority of workers in major markets. The US, Japan and most other markets had no such right.
Test: Share of workers in major markets with a legal right to employer-linked training: France (DIF, from 2004) only among the largest economies; roughly 5-10% of workers across US/EU/Japan, below 20%.
Grader B: partial
France created an individual employee right to training (DIF, law of May 4, 2004): 20 hours per year, cumulative up to 150 hours. It was replaced by the portable CPF in 2015. France is one major market with a statutory right of this type, and a few other European countries have training-leave schemes. The US, Japan and most other major markets had no such right. The neo-Luddite cause in the claim did not exist.
Test: Test: 20% of workers in major markets have a statutory right to continuing education tied to employment. 2009: France (about 27M workers) has one via the DIF. That is roughly 5-6% of the combined US, EU and Japan workforce. Not mainstream, but above 5%.
