Union members stormed Air France headquarters today in protest of the proposal of 3,000 layoffs. In an example of what happens when workers are pushed too far, protesters ripped the shirts off some managers’ backs while they tried to flee.
Protesters reportedly screamed “Naked! Naked!” translating to “Nu! Nu! Nu!” which you have to admit is a pretty baller chant. I’m not saying I condone this, I’m just saying the image of a shirtless executive climbing a fence to escape a pantsing is something we’ve all wanted to see.
Also, it would be cool if anyone considering layoffs had to watch this video before they decide.
