When it comes to life, few are as passionate about it as the French. Tick them off and you've got a world of trouble on your hands.
Here's proof:
When 3M workers at a plant near the beloved city of Paris were informed that there were going to be lay-offs, they did not take the news with brave smiles, but displayed their displeasure by promptly taking their boss as a hostage. Believe it or not, such actions are pretty commonplace among the fiery French when they have a bone to pick with management.
Even the Teamsters can't top that one!
According to sources familiar with the situation, the determined employees had some demands they wanted met by the company they had worked so hard for, such as more severance pay and other stipulations.
Very similar to a spurned lover, n'est pas?
Those not about to be axed from their positions also have some wants, like improved conditions in the plant, so they joined their laid-off fellow employees in forcing their boss to remain under their control, until they get what they desire.
And what, you may ask, is the product that these dissed workers help produce?
