FRANCE Telecom was placed under investigation on Friday over the company's alleged role in a wave of staff suicides, two days after its former chief executive was similarly targeted.
The telecommunications company, ex-CEO Didier Lombard and two senior executives all now face an investigation into tough management practices amounting to psychological harassment.
Besides alleged harassment, the management style at France Telecom is also being investigated for possibly hindering the functioning of the firm and violating staff hygiene and safety standards, a legal source said.
France Telecom was hit by a wave of employee suicides beginning in 2008 that took the lives of over 30 workers in two years.
Blamed on workplace stress, the suicides continued in 2010, with five workers dying in 10 days. The company, in which the French government holds a minority stake, denied it had acted illegally.
