Air France decreases job cuts after VP HR gets shirt ripped off

Air France has decreased the number of proposed job cuts after angry staff ripped the clothes off senior employees.

The workers have now been suspended. The VP HR has also been replaced.

2,900 jobs were originally planned to be cut, but the figure now stands at less than 1,000.

Alexandre de Juniac, CEO of Air France-KLM, said the job cuts next year would now be voluntary. With schedules planned months in advance, the cutbacks had to go ahead in 2016.
