Air France executives chased from jobs talks

Two Air France managers have had their shirts torn as they were forced to flee a meeting on job cuts by angry workers.

Human resources manager Xavier Broseta and senior official Pierre Plissonnier had to clamber over a fence, while several others were injured.
The men were taking part in talks about plans for 2,900 job losses when hundreds of workers stormed into Air France headquarters at Roissy.
Pilots had earlier rejected an offer to work longer hours.
Parent firm Air France-KLM said it would take legal action over the protesters' "aggregated violence".
  

The airline later confirmed the job losses as part of a big restructuring that also involved route cuts.
The measures include cutting 1,700 ground staff, 900 cabin crew, and 300 pilots, and also a 10% reduction in its long-haul business, a reduction in the size of the aircraft fleet and an increase in pilots' working hours.
Security guards helped Mr Broseta flee the protesters by climbing over a fence, but not before his shirt was torn from his back.
