Ylf Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Bad news in Dundee with 850 jobs being lost. Workers received a text message to tell them the bad news. Another major jobs blow in Dundee. I know a few guys who have done 20 plus years in there. I’m sure they got a grant of around £4.5 million last year as well. Feel sorry for all of the workers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel sorry for all of the workers Think this has been mentioned in another thread. Sounds like tough conditions for tyre manufacturers. Hopefully the people who work there get a decent package, sounds like they should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute mutants Wouldn’t worry, at the rate they're losing money their club will probably be dead (again) before Michelin closes.

Romeo Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I saw on the news that Michelin said it was due to a drop in the need for the type of tyres made there? Do they do specialist stuff or is it normal car tyres? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they do specialist stuff or is it normal car tyres? Good article here on it. They were caught between having to overspecialise and being beaten on price on ordinary mass production tyres. Possible that Brexit was the last straw. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-46107383 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
