Sony executives freed after 24-hour 'bossknapping'
WITH HIS bald pate, wire-rimmed glasses, grey suit and silk tie, Serge Foucher looked the very picture of business management when his 24-hour imprisonment at the hands of angry workers ended yesterday morning. “I’m happy to be free and to see the light of day again,” said Mr Foucher, the chief executive officer of Sony France.
Mr Foucher, Sony’s head of human resources, and two local plant officials were held in a meeting room in a videotape factory at Pontonx-sur-l’Adour, in the Landes region of southwest France.
