“Workers at a Goodyear tyre factory in Northern France have been holding two managers captive in a dispute over plans to close the plant. The director of production at the plant in Amiens, Michel Dheilly and human resources chief, Bernard Glaser have not been allowed to leave the plant. Staff and management have been negotiating for years over how to deal with the loss-making plant. The union is pushing for a redundancy plan with more generous payoffs. Generally workers have not been prosecuted for holding their bosses captive. According to the CGT union, the two managers have been given water and still have their mobile phones.”
