Job Cuts Expected at Goodyear in Poland

Esmerk, December 24, 2008

 

The management at the Debica tyre manufacturer, which is controlled by the US company Goodyear, has announced that collective bargaining negotiations will take pace in the near future. No details could be obtained from Debica's management, although it is thought that this will mean job cuts. The announcement comes in the middle of an enforced standstill in production at the company's factory, due to lack of demand. A representative of one of the unions said that he has no doubt that the company is seeking to cut labour costs, through job cuts. This is despite the companies assurances that there would be no group redundancies, when it negotiated with the staff that they would receive no pay rise for the first eight months of 2009.
