Goodyear cuts another 84 jobs at Wolverhampton

Another 84 jobs have been cut at Wolverhampton in the farm tyre division. This follows a denial that the transfer of agricultural tyre production to an off-take had any impact on Goodyear’s Wolverhampton agricultural tyre production. Six years ago the plant had around 3,000 staff, but the figure is now down to 600 and part of the site has been sold for commercial development.
