of 3M were on strike. In order to make sure their demands were met, they took their boss hostage.
What is really interesting is that this apparently is not an uncommon tactic used over there.
"In France, it is not unheard-of for striking workers to hold company executives as a way of winning concessions from management. The hostages are almost never injured."
Did you catch that last part? Hostages are Almost never injured. But check out the article. I wonder if the screen writers for 9-5 got their idea from France and who is playing the part of Dolly? Those are some large blouses to fill.

I LOVE this movie. I watch it when I'm disgruntled at work.
Lily Tomlin acts more with her feet than most actors do with their whole bodies.
I had to sing that awful damn song at Dempsey's karaoke when I was pledging my fraternity. Can't say the poor audience was any more excited about my vocal efforts.
