Workers at a Sony plant in southwestern France detained the chief executive of the Japanese group's French arm overnight to demand better layoff terms when their factory closes in April.
Serge Foucher and several other Sony executives were released mid-morning on Friday after workers obtained guarantees that they would take part in a new round of negotiations.
Workers had locked up the managers in the plant at Pontonx-sur-l'Adour late on Thursday and blocked the road to the site with tree trunks, local authorities said.

The Sony plant at Pontonx-sur-l'Adour, Bordeaux: It will close in April with the loss of hundreds of jobs
------------------------------------------------------------
Union representatives said their action had been the only way to revive negotiations on layoff packages that were not generous enough.
'We hope that this time our voices will be heard," unionist Patrick Hachaguer told Reuters by telephone as workers and the released managers boarded minibuses to go and resume talks at local government offices.
Tempers have been boiling over in France, hit like other countries around the world by a wave of factory closures and mass layoffs because of the global economic downturn.
Workers in a small northern town hurled eggs and insults at managers on Thursday to protest against the closure of their tyre plant by German car parts group Continental that would eliminate 1,120 jobs.
At Pontonx-sur-l'Adour, the Sony plant which employs 311 workers is scheduled to close for good on April 17. Foucher's visit to the plant on Thursday was the last before closure.
Sony had considered converting the plant to make solar panels rather than magnetic components, but abandoned the plan, angering the workers who had hoped to keep their jobs.
Local authorities mediated to avoid a police intervention that would have further raised tensions.

Angry workers hold French Sony boss hostage
13 Mar 2009, 1443 hrs IST, AFP
MONT-DE-MARSAN: Angry workers held the boss of Sony France hostage Friday to try to make the Japanese electronics giant give them a bigger pay-off when it shuts their factory, unions said.
Serge Foucher had gone to the Pontonx-sur-l'Adour plant in southwest France on Thursday to meet its 311 workers one last time before the closure of the factory on April 17.
But the workers, who say their pay-off is less generous than that offered at other French Sony plants that have closed, decided to launch a strike, then barricaded the entry to the site with tree trunks and stopped him leaving.
He was held overnight in a meeting room, CGT union official Patrick Hachaguer said.
"We were asked to let Mr. Foucher out of the factory this morning to meet the prefect (regional state representative) and the workers. But the workers, who want the prefect to come here, refused," he said.
Hachaguer said the deputy prefect would come to the plant, but official sources said that he would not do so until he was given guarantees that Foucher would be released.
Sony France announced in December the closure of the Pontonx-sur-l'Adour site, which has since 1984 specialised in manufacturing video tapes.

Dimissed workers hold Sony executives hostage

Published: March 13, 2009
PARIS: Workers at a Sony factory in southwestern France are holding two company executives hostage to protest the level of severance pay they have been offered when the plant closes.
Serge Foucher, CEO of Sony France, and Roland Bentz, the chief of human resources, have been sequestered by the workers since Thursday afternoon.
The CGT union says workers agreed Friday to restart talks with the management.
Sony France is laying off 311 workers at the plant south of Bordeaux.

Sacked French Sony workers release boss from captivity
Chief executive held hostage in protest over severance deal is escorted to union negotiations

guardian.co.uk, Friday 13 March 2009
Sacked Sony France workers this morning freed the chief executive they had been holding hostage, on the condition that he was escorted directly to talks with trade unionists.
Angry at their severance packages, the workers had taken Serge Foucher captive yesterday at the videotape plant in Pontonx-sur-l'Adour, in the Landes region of south-west France. He had travelled to the factory for a final courtesy visit to more than 300 sacked workers before the plant closes next month. But dozens of staff took him hostage and barricaded the entry to the site with tree trunks.
Patrick Hachaguer, a representative from the communist-leaning CGT union confirmed that Foucher had spent the night shut in a meeting room. "He won't listen to us, we didn't find any other solution," the union delegate told Agence France-Presse news agency earlier today.
At 10am, unionists escorted Foucher and his director of human resources from the factory and travelled with them in a mini-bus to negotiations to be held in the presence of local authorities in the nearby town of Dax. "I'm happy to be free and to see the light of day again," Foucher said before climbing into the minibus.
Earlier this morning, around 80 workers were gathered on picket-line and guard duty at the factory. They protested that their payoffs were less than other Sony workers had received in France.
Taking a boss hostage is becoming an increasingly common protest gesture in France. Last year, the English boss of a car-parts factory in eastern France was held for 48 hours in his office, sleeping on a massage table and being provided with blankets and sandwiches. He said he felt like "a prisoner in Alcatraz".
In another incident last year, police stormed an ice-cream factory in Saint-Dizier to free a manager who had been held hostage by workers angry over job cuts. At least 14 staff were injured trying to stop police releasing him.
The mood of French factory workers seeking justice and revenge has spawned France's cult film of the year, Louise-Michel, a gothic comedy in which a group of women laid off from their factory in northern France hire a hit man to kill their boss.

BORDEAUX, France, March 13 (Reuters) - Workers at a Sony (6758.T: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) plant in southwestern France detained the chief executive of the Japanese group's French arm overnight to demand better layoff terms when their factory closes in April.
