U.S.-based Oshkosh Corporation has agreed to pay 53 French workers up to $42,000 each in severance pay after the workers threatened to blow up factory machinery. It’s the third group of French workers recently to threaten such action. This follows a wave of “boss-nappings” where managers were held briefly by workers demanding more severance money.

If only the people in this country had the balls to hold their employers, or government for that matter, accountable.
