Stacy Summary:  (Big tip of the hat to @Palantiri for linking to this headline). This is why I love France . . .the workers here fight like bankers.  Goldman and other bankers threatened to destroy the markets unless the population paid them out $700 billion.  French workers play by their rules it seems.  It helps that the French population will have sympathy for them, unlike what would happen in other nations (ahem):

• French workers threaten to blow up factory if they do not receive payouts

Workers at collapsed French car parts maker New Fabris threatened on Sunday to blow up their factory if they did not receive payouts by July 31 from auto groups Renault and Peugeot to compensate for their lost jobs.

New Fabris was declared in liquidation in April, so the workers stand to get no redundancy money, although they are entitled to draw state unemployment benefit.
