French workers are renowned for their extreme protests and a group of employees whose jobs are threatened at a factory in central France have proved it once again by destroying equipment and threatening to blow up the plant.
The workers at GM&S auto-suppliers plant in the Creuse department of central France have sent a message to bosses and car giants Renault and Peugeot by threatening to blow up their factory.
Around 280 jobs are on the line at the plant, north of Limoges, that went into receivership in December.
According to trade union representatives the employees have started destroying their factory equipment and say they will trash a machine each day until their demands are met.
But more worrying is that they say they have booby-trapped the site with gas canisters and cans of petrol.
Images posted on Twitter showed gas canisters strung up to a huge tank of “liquid oxygen”. The words "we are going to blow everything up" (on va tout péter) were scrawled on the site of a giant liquid air tank.
