1000 Jobs gone

[Tango51]

Vauxhall are to shed up to 1000 jobs at Ellesmere Port in a bid to save 80 million Euros.
German TU's have refused to back T&G and Amicus.
Why Britain? Average redundancy will be around £40k, German package last year was £158k.

Looks like I get the night off then.

Forster said GM had looked to cut payrolls at Ellesmere Port, because workers there had better chances of finding new jobs.

Oh well at least the decision was based on a sound economical business plan

All we can do is keep our fingers crossed for you Tango.

I put in to go 3 years ago so I'm not too bothered, it's the other poor buggers I feel sorry for.

Better chances of finding new jobs my arse, cheapest and easiest option more like.

Fingers crossed for you Tango.

As an aside, if I were living in an EU country, my question would be is it not time that redundancy payouts were capped by EU law? After all, it's just a form of subsidy, essentially punishing companies for making job cuts in EU countries with low-productivity but high redundancy costs while taking jobs away from countries with move flexible labor markets.

I think its grossly unfair to continue to allow the Germans to essentially use Government subsidy to prop up their industry. The payouts should be leveled across all member states, IMO.
