Dindeleux Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Wouldn’t worry, at the rate they're losing money their club will probably be dead (again) before Michelin closes. (I was thinking of a Rangers/Goodyear jibe but it’s difficult) 2012 was a Goodyear for Rangers if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 It does seem odd that the Irish plant shut and they invested money in the Dundee one only to now say that they are making the wrong type of tyres on the news. Can probably make them elsewhere for cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing happened to me at an electronics plant. Friday morning out of the blue factory closed. The day shift moaned because backs and nights only came in for ten mins. We had a full order book but they reckoned Romania could do it cheaper. In a race to the bottom what happens when all the poorer countries catch up? Back to the start?! This is why independence doesn’t really matter. Money does and even with major grants and backing companies just take the piss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send them back to where they came from, then immediately send them over here and then send them back again so that they are in a state of perpetual travel between here and there, allowing us to do both their jobs in this country and in the other country.

killiekranky Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Unions today and Unite in particular are filled with middle management types interested mainly in their own career progression. Feel it for the Michelin workers, hope something can be done for them. A lot of Jobs are going to be heading East over the next few years, as a lot of multi nationals are building plants. Thanks to Brexit and the new isolationism we are about to embrace, we can't even go over there and steal their jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
