Goodyear Proposes Temporary Wolverhampton Layoffs
Local news source The Express and Star has reported that Goodyear has proposed a series of temporary lay-offs to around 300 staff in Wolverhampton. The paper quotes Cyril Barrett, the branch chairman of union Unite, saying that it is likely that staff will take a total of 68 “lay-off days” spread through 2009. According to the report, 29 of these days will be paid – 14 at 60 per cent, 15 at £21.50 per day – while the remaining lay-off days would be covered by holidays and 25 days without pay.
Goodyear told the newspaper that the company is waiting for union feedback on the proposal.
