Consultation on Conti Clairoix Closure Ends
The consultation phase regarding the planned closure of Continental’s Clairoix tyre factory that began on March 11 has come to an end. After more than eight months of talks between Continental France SNC and workers’ unions over the passenger car and light truck tyre factory’s future, or lack thereof, the bodies representing employees have, in Continental’s words, “rendered their recommendations” on both the economic rationale in support of the planned closure as well as the qualification scheme included in the social plan for the plant’s 1,120 employees.
