There is no labor law issue: The teams are free to decide which salary they pay their employees. However, if the salaries move them over the budget (not salary!) cap, they lose their technical freedom.
From what I know, the salary cap in the US major sports leagues is really a salary cap: a regulation of the team's players (and them only). The other costs remain unaffected. Here it is the other way round: it is a budget cap, with salaries only being affected indirectly.
Besides, different countries, different law systems. You cannot apply US standards to French institutions. Heck, even in Europe we still have hugely different law systems, though the EC is trying to harmonize some aspects.
