Job-threatened factory workers sent nappy message to Bruni

Workers at a closure-threatened French nappy factory have sent a box of nappies to first lady Carla Bruni in a plea to help them save their jobs.

Employees at the Ontex factory in Villefranche-sur-Saone sent 187 nappies to the pregnant supermodel wife of president Nicolas Sarkozy – one for each worker and a none-too-subtle message that while the nappies might be disposable, their jobs were not.
