EMPLOYEES AT AMIENS VOTE FOR CHANGE IN SHIFT ROTATIONS

Le Figaro, June 28, 2008

Employees at the Goodyear-Dunlop site in Amiens, France, have voted in favour of a new, '4x8' shift pattern. Managers had announced that if the plans for the new rotation were rejected, they would cut 402 jobs and reduce investment in the site.

In an earlier vote a few weeks ago, staff had rejected the 4x8 pattern. The CGT union, which called on its members to boycott the vote, says that the majority of employees are against the change.
