Sony France CEO captured by workers, released upon capitulation
This incident was the latest in a series of similar hostage situations in Europe. Foucher was held hostage for a couple of hours or so, while executives from Michelin got two days of detention from angry workers because of the closure of a factory. And before that a British company head was locked in his factory. The method actually seems to have worked pretty well. I guess in this economy, you just go with whatever works.
