Alibi Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Not entirely due to Brexit but I suspect that it is a significant factor. A lot more similar de-industrialisation still to come as the UK collapses. Time to bail out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jailender Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 It's more to do with changes in the tyre market. Apparently the Dunde factory was set up to produce what were then the main sizes of tyres. Recently the market has changed hugely, and the factory isn't really suited to the new demands. A good artilce on the BBC website yesterday about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDange Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Sounds like a failure to keep up / modernise is the main issue here. Obviously bad for people to lose their jobs but unless they fully redo the plant to bring it up to code, what other options are there?

macy37 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I was told that the bloke who walks about with a broom in his paws cleaning up is on £28k per annum. Fuck me no bad work if you can get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
