THE NEW YORK TIMES: STRIKING FRENCH WORKERS RELEASE 3M MANAGER
In France, the economic downturn has led to a labor crisis in which workers are frustrated, layoffs are skyrocketing, and violent responses to the economic crisis are increasing. Yesterday, after negotiations between labor representatives and and management of a 3Mfactory in France, the manager of the Pithiviers factory, Luc Rousselet, was released as a hostage by the workers. Today the negotiations about recent layoffs at the company will continue.
Question to the Blogosphere: What tactics do you think the management had to use to negotiate the safe release of Rousselet? Do you think there is a possibility for common ground between the workers and management in France? Do you think the French culture makes it harder to reach this common ground as there is a history of protest and rioting there? What role do you think the economic crisis plays in negotiations around the world?
