Michelin Suffers Court Defeat

Michelin employees made redundant at the company’s Soisson plant have won their court case. The employees lost their jobs when the company sold its bicycle plant to Wolber. The new owners subsequently moved production to India. In the meantime the number of employees still disputing the situation shrank to 115. Now a court has ruled in the employees’ favour, stating that Michelin should offer the employees adequate jobs in other business premises and that they should receive remuneration from the company.
