COMMENTS: All Tied up at the Office
Across the Channel, CBS' Richard Roth saw humor in bossnapping. "If the phone call home the other night was to say he was tied up at the office…he really meant it." French workers at factories run by 3M and SONY and Caterpillar have barricaded their bosses at work overnight in protest against layoffs. "It is an action that is more theatrical than threatening," Roth assured us. "The workers did not get in trouble with the law. So far no charges have been filed." As for the 3M exec, he "did sound sympathetic after 36 hours' captivity." Roth offered his soundbite--"workers have more to complain about than I do"--before watching him being driven off by his chauffeur.
