You have to give Nortel’s French employees a lot of credit for not taking the downsizing of the business sitting down.
In addition to a strike by more than 300 workers demanding better severance and other compensation, the group has produced videos and written an lettre-ouverte-du-ce-9-july-2009-nocom-eng alleging, among other things, that cash has been transferred out of Nortel’s French business.
At least you guys have Celine Dion to ease the pain.

From what i read Pauljam, Nothing.. just a bunch of mumbo jumbo. I don't even get the point. What is it? Bottom line is Nortel decided to do business in France, eh? Now is not the time to try to back track and give a bunch of reasons why it's not cost advantageous- you make a business decision, you play by the rules. Saying a company may be at a “cost disadvantage” has zero to do with breaking the law. At the end of the day, as you say my friend-”amazed and confused2002″, you shouldn't have opened your doors in France and complain about the labor laws now. If it waddles like a duck and quacks like a duck, guess what? It's a duck!

Well, some folks do periodically demand the universal boycott of all and any products shipped overseas and assembled by orphaned child slave labor – like, say, in China and India – to widen that ole profit margin.
