Due to poor sales we are shutting down Topeka for a week. Here is the kicker. This is not going to be the only factory or just a one time occurrence. My understanding we are well below targets and look to have a longer shut down in July.
If you are management in Akron, you are the problem. From low manager to President.
@OP more to come like up to 10weeks out
USW@Goodyear: We met w/ Goodyear leadership in Pittsburgh this week to exchange initial proposals ahead of bargaining which kicks off in June. Their initial proposal focused on cost cutting and flexibility, including cuts to our pay and benefits. We know better than anyone that our plants aren't running as efficiently as they could, but we believe there are better ways to improve productivity.
We made it clear that our goal is to find smart and reasonable solutions to increase efficiency and secure our jobs while maintaining the pay and benefits we've fought for and deserve.
I thought everything was good!!🙈
