French workers threaten to blow up factory

AFP - Workers at a bankrupt French car parts supplier are threatening to blow up their factory unless carmakers Renault and PSA-Peugeot pay them compensation, a union official said Sunday.

The 366 employees of New Fabris in central-eastern Chatellerault, are occupying the plant to demand that the auto giants -- who accounted for 90 percent of their business -- pay 30,000 euros (42,000 dollars) to each worker.

"The gas bottles are in the factory. Everything has been planned for it to blow up," unless there is an accord by July 31, Guy Eyermann, CGT union official and secretary of the company works council, told AFP.

The Chatellerault factory is thought to house car parts worth some two million euros, as well as a new Renault machine estimated at a further two million, the union leader said.

Not sure if that is credible but another news source.

Workers at a bankrupt car-parts company are threatening to blow up their factory if they don’t receive 30,000 euros in compensation.

They say they will detonate gas canisters inside the building if there is no deal by the end of the month.

They have already destroyed some machinery outside to prove they are serious.

A union representative said workers had burnt the equipment as a symbol of their anger.

More than 350 workers want 30,000 euros each from their former company’s two main clients, Renault and Peugeot.
