Protesting workers held the executive chairman of TDF, the French television broadcast operator, hostage today in the latest case of bossnapping in France. About 600 employees invaded the group's headquarters outside Paris to demand the withdrawal of a redundancy plan. Patrick Babin, the executive chairman, was detained in his office, before being released as the striking staff joined a protest march. "We're asking him to scrap his restructuring plan," said Bruno Rabardel, a representative of the Confédération générale du Travail union.
