Protesting Renault factory workers take management team hostage

Angry workers at a Renault factory in northwest France took seven managers hostage overnight for approximately 12 hours. Around 350 workers are continuing to blockade the Fonderie de Bretagne in Brittany, in an attempt to prevent the closure of the foundry that makes car parts for the French car giant. However, the aforementioned hostages were released at approximately 10:30pm local time.
