Telecoms firm hit by another suicide

A FATHER-OF FOUR working for France Telecom-Orange died after setting himself on fire at work, management and unions said, the latest in a series of suicides at the company.

The 57-year-old set himself alight in a car park at France Telecom premises near Bordeaux in southwestern France.

“The whole staff is completely overwhelmed with emotion,” said trade union representative Sebastien Crozier, his voice trembling. “All of Bordeaux is in tears.”
