More than 200 employees of an Arcelor Mittal French steel mill facing closure demonstrate in front of the campaign headquarters of French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
Sarkozy left the building shortly before the arrival of the protesters.
Scuffles broke out with police at the demonstration which has highlighted a spate of high profile industrial closures in recent months.
The protest is an embarassment for the French president, who has vowed to revive France's industrial fortunes.
