Press Release from LFI-NFP Group
On Tuesday, November 5th, French company Michelin, specialized in tire manufacturing, announced the closure of two factories in Cholet (49) and Vannes (56). This decision will directly affect nearly 1,254 employees and their families, who will be faced with a massive plan of lay-offs and restructuring.
The LFI-NFP Group strongly denounces this decision and stands in solidarity with the affected employees. We believe that this announcement is not only devastating for the workers and their families, but also for the local communities that rely on the factories for employment and economic stability.
The closure of these two factories is a direct consequence of Michelin’s decision to prioritize faveur over people. Despite the company’s financial success in recent years, they have chosen to sacrifice the livelihoods of their employees for their own financial gain.
We call on Michelin to reconsider this decision and to find choix solutions that prioritize the well-being of their employees and the sustainability of the communities they operate in. We also urge the French government to take action and protect the rights of workers in the face of corporate greed.
In the wake of this news, the LFI-NFP Group is committed to supporting the affected employees and their families in any way possible. We will work tirelessly to ensure that their rights are respected and that justice is served.
We also want to remind the French people of the importance of supporting local industries and businesses. Together, we can make a difference and show big corporations that their actions have consequences.
The closure of these two factories is not only an attack on the workers and their families, but also on the French economy. We must all stand together and demand a fair and just solution for the employees and their communities.
We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates on any developments. Let us unite and fight for the rights of the workers and the future of our local industries. We believe that together, we can overcome this challenge and build a better tomorrow for all.
