French workers continue bossnapping
French Workers Lock Up Execs in a New Eruption of 'Bossnappings'
French factory workers, angry over layoffs and cost cuts, locked up their bosses
at a Michelin tire plant and a U.S.-owned cigarette-paper mill in a new eruption

particularly hard hit by cutbacks and a backlash by French workers during the
country's worst recession in decades.
French 'explosion-threat' workers win redundancy pay
A group of French workers facing layoffs obtained extra money after threatening to blow up industrial equipment at their plant, labor union representatives said on Friday. Meanwhile, workers at two other companies continue their threats to blow up their workplaces.
The workers, at JLG, a manufacturing company, were the third in France to make similar threats this month, after workers from Nortel, the telecommunications equipment maker, and New Fabris, a car parts maker.
Workers threaten to blow up another factory
Workers at Nortel France join the gas cylinder gang but their threats may be empty.
Workers at the French arm of telecommunications manufacturer Nortel placed gas cylinders in front of the plant in Yvelines, near Paris, where 467 out of 683 jobs will be lost following bankruptcy proceedings started in North America,
The cylinders turned out to be empty but it's unknown whether they will stay that way.
French auto workers threaten to blow up factory
Workers at collapsed French car parts maker New Fabris threatened on Sunday to blow up their factory if they did not receive payouts by July 31 from auto groups Renault and Peugeot to compensate for their lost jobs.
New Fabris was declared to be in liquidation in April, so the 366 workers stand to get no redundancy money, although they are entitled to draw state unemployment benefit.
