Intolerable !!!
This shouldn't be tolerated ! I'm deeply disappointed by our President for not condemning such a behavior !
How dare they threaten another's property ? Those are no negociation, it's black-mail and this should NOT be allowed, tolerated or accepted.
And you call that socialism ? where is the equity in that ? They take by force something that they think is a due. There is no such thing as a due.
Not a smart move.
If Christian Amadio and his misguided ilk keep this line of action going, investors in French industry will become so scarce, there will be no need for a 'tough' or any other form of conflict. This is because there will be no employment beyond the least risky to capital: The supermarket checkout and/or the call-centre.
Unbelievable
I find this story unbelievable. In France it is not illegal to threaten to destroy someone else's property? I thought it was called extortion. This behavior is acceptable?
Would the workers find it okay if the company threatened to blow up their property unless their output improved to the company's liking? I doubt it.
The rule of law should be upheld. If the company has not fulfilled its obligation, then the government should enforce the fulfillment of the contract. These worker's behavior, in my opinion, is not valiant or heroic, it is immature, pathetic, and should not be tolerated in a civil society.
