Goodyear dissolving agreement with German workforce - a prelude to redundancies or plant closures?

摘要

ACCORDING TO GERMANY S OSTHESSEN NEWS, Goodyear Dunlop Tires Germany GmbH intends to rescind the contract it holds with 7,500 German employees. The contract, which has been in force for 17 years and renegotiated four times during this period, guaranteed the retention of the company's seven sites in Germany and protection from business-related redundancies. Ines Sauer, Works Council chair at Goodyear Dunlop's Fulda facility, told Osthessen News that she and the German operation's Central Works Council were informed of Goodyear Dunlop's plans to end the contract in late April.
