I'm French! But I will be the first to say (unlike many other French perhaps?) that there is a culture of too much right to be discontent in France... Lucky for me I live in Australia! :-D

I love the French for that. They just don't take shit from their bosses. Which is exactly right these days - we're not bloody slaves!
If you were facing being laid off, do you really think that beating up a representative of your employer is going to make him change his mind?

And nor were the employees of that company, and therefore, they were let go to freely do what they please.

Disposed of, you mean. Treated like a piece of "don't want to know what it is" under the shoe of someone who owns the range of numbers that you're part of.
Do you think it would have been better if they had been kept on and the whole company went bankrupt as a result? Don't assume that the owners did this lightly or without regret for the workers they laid off.

Do you think anything would? Except maybe "Hey Boss, I will work weekends too, and for half the pay. I will also bend over right now, for your convenience!" But I didn't think that would be a way approved by a US American.

The point is that the French tend to put the needs of human beings before the needs of fat blokes in suits who rake money off. And I, despite being British (and therefore still in a state of war against the French), applaud them for that. What is more important, seeing that a large number of people get a living wage, so that they can raise their children, or seeing that a few people make huge profits? Obviously, it's never as simple as that choice, but the tendency is always toward looking after the shareholders, rather than ensuring the well-being, and therefore the loyalty, of the people who produce the things that make the profits.

If you want to beat up someone with your fists, dropping the rifle is pretty much recommended.
