The Peugeot Ryton plant
To: M. Espinola
Wow...you'd think there would be a big demand for replacement cars back on the continent, owing to their little "youth" problem.

Oops!
But seriously, last I heard they were talking about coming back to the U.S.?!

Well if you cannot fire them, cannot lay them off, then close plant and all are laid off.

It is amazing that there are no local MP's willing to go on hunger strike to save these jobs.

OK, here is how to save these jobs. Hire French Students to protest the closing of this factory and Chirac will pull some strings at Peugot to keep the factory open. Bam, problem solved.

So, if I reading this correctly, the French management has to cut jobs and, since it is about impossible to fire a French worker, they are making the cuts in the UK.
Tough blow for the UK workers but you have to think that is the risk you take when you work for a company that faces oppressive labor laws back at home, which don't protect your particular job. If I were in business I wouldn't want anything to do with France.

I guess the Frogs got tired of the Brits installing their steering wheels on the left hand side. ;)
