PARIS: A French court will rule on Friday whether the former CEO of France Telecom and other executives carried out"institutional harassment" that sparked a spate of suicides at the company.
France Telecom itself was charged with"institutional harassment" and faces a fine of up to 75,000 euros. "The transformations a business has to go through aren't pleasant, that's just the way it is, there's nothing I could have done," he told the court.The victims' families and unions accuse France Telecom of systematic psychological abuse aimed at pushing out people at its nearly 23,000 sites across the country, including forcing workers to change jobs or to relocate for work.
In July 2009, a 51-year-old technician from Marseille killed himself, leaving a letter accusing bosses of"management by terror".
