Belgian workers have been inspired by the Americans on their latest action, workers of a company that will cut down their budget have decided to take the staff hostage. They imprisoned the staff for 1 day already and police doesn't dare to go inside, since the company has dangerous stuff that makes it a risk to go inside. I personally like the action and find it rather funny too :-) What do you people think about this way of protest ?

By "staff" do you mean the management? (supervisors, executives, managers, et cetera)

They want that the people that will get fired get better social benifits and some of them should get a early retirement. Since the company (part of a American corporation) doesn't care at all about their workers. Even now they are imprisoned, they don't budge for their people's demands.
