Hundreds of workers occupy three Visteon car manufacturing factories in Britain after the management closed them down, laying off the entire workforce with no notice, violating their contracts. This is the first factory occupation in Britain since the 1970's.

1. Sad for those families...
Capitalism - the rich get richer while their slaves starve. It's too bad that true democracy is a fable.

2. these types of actions will proliferate
Just like when we started protesting bush right after the selection. Our first big march on DC only generated 60,000 people. As the time went by, there were larger protests and eventually we got into the million area.

Regarding these protests at the homes of CEOs, the fence and gate business will expand.

3. Power concedes nothing without a fight.
THIS is what must be done on an ever increasing level.

4. Bossnapping is how thw French do it and
are currently at it.

These people need to be brought face to face with the people who's lives are destroyed by their greed.
