Seriously now, France. Hey. Your years of kowtowing to the demands of the most flashy or glamorous have finally reached their logical conclusion. Kidnapping the managers of a profitable company.
Workers at a Caterpillar plant in the French Alps briefly held five of their bosses in a dispute over their severance packages, workers and union officials said Tuesday.
“There is no violence or sequestration, but simply pressure so they restart negotiations,” Pierre Piccarreta, a representative from the C.G.T. union, told The Associated Press. Workers had detained the director of the plant and his associates.
