The land of strikes and protests is at it again - that is, was at it again about 15 years ago. With the Recession in full swing, the French adopted an... original method to obtain better deals from their bosses: sequestration. How is this possible? What are the police even doing? Are the bosses being tortured?? Why are people selling razors to CEOs now??? All this and more from the author of this episode, Noah the Editor.
