France Telecom suicides: Former bosses face trial

 

The former chief executive of France Telecom and six other managers are to stand trial over a spate of suicides among their staff in the late 2000s.

 

Prosecutors have long claimed they presided over a culture of harassment at the firm that led at least 19 employees to kill themselves.

 

They are accused of "moral harassment".

 

Ex-boss Didier Lombard and his fellow defendants deny their tough restructuring measures in 2006 were to blame for the subsequent loss of life.

 

The push for greater efficiency came two years after the company was privatised. Mr Lombard was trying to cut 22,000 jobs and retrain at least 10,000 workers.

 

"I'll get them out one way or another, through the window or through the door," he was quoted as telling senior managers in 2007.

 

Some were transferred away from their families or left behind when offices were moved, or assigned demeaning jobs.

 

From 2008 onwards, at least 19 members of staff took their own lives, 12 attempted suicide and eight others suffered from depression and related illnesses.
