The first thing they did was block all the access roads into and out of the facility.
They let everybody go the next morning.
That was an interesting experience.

There's a different perspective here where it is very common to see past the "If its good for GM its good for America" lines. Companies and workers have a (perhaps an unwritten) contract where each agrees to fulfill as best they can their obligations to the other. Even temporary hiring that might enable companies to make money at the cost of some disruption in the lives of its temporary work force is seen as unresponsible towards the long term objectives of the state and the wellbeing of the population. Emphasis is placed on maximizing and securing the stability of both parties rather than simply maximizing shareholder profits at the expense of benefiting society as a whole. Least that's my opinion.

My point was that it is ridiculous that French union workers seem to be allowed to routinely kidnap their bosses to demonstrate their displeasure with something with no concerns of being held responsible.
The information concerning Dow is only the fact they have been hit hard by the economy and their merger with R&H.

I guess the Boston Tea Party is all but a distant memory in the Library of Congress these days.
Fine. But it seems EQUALLY rediculous to me, if not more so, that companies are allowed to lose 86 BILLION, still pay their managers 10 billion, ask the government for 200 Billion bailout and get away without paying their workers one cent. Don't you think that 24 hour kidnapping pales in relation to that?
