Sony workers in France took executives hostage, and held them until they were convinced by regional authorities to let them go, and continue negotiations between the workers and the company at a location away from the manufacturing plant. The plant, and another one, are being shut down, and the employees let go.
You know, in the United States, kidnapping is a crime. Seems that, in France, it is something to surrender over. Yea, I know, I know, but I just couldn't help getting yet another one of my well-known tacky French surrender gags into this thread. Or maybe it's not a gag at all, but an honest comment on the French government. :mrgreen:
