Indian CEO beaten to death by the workers he had fired

But this, seriously, is horrible, and that's coming from someone with a very pro-labor point of view. It's even worse when you read that the man who was murdered

had called a meeting with more than 100 former employees - who had been dismissed following an earlier outbreak of violence at the plant - to discuss a possible reinstatement deal.

So he was negotiating, and they still killed him. That's just terrible. And bad for negotiations.
