  • Story Text: Renault employees protesting against the forthcoming sale of shares in the state-controlled carmaker occupied the Paris bourse on Thursday morning (October 6).

    Market officials said some 200 Renault workers had invaded the bourse, an elegant neo-classical building in the centre of town, halting trade on the Matif futures exchange and the Monep stock options system.

    Shares, which are traded by an electronic system, were unaffected.

    The communist-led CGT union has been strongly opposed to the sale of Renault, long a symbol of the country's labour power.

    The government is planning to cut its stake in Renault to 51 percent from 79 percent before the end of this year.
