Justice has decided. The management of Goodyear was condemned Thursday by the industrial tribunal of Amiens (Somme) for the unfair dismissal of 832 of its former employees of its factory in Amiens-Nord, closed in January 2014 and which then employed 1,143 people, a have we learned from consistent sources.

This condemnation of the tire giant for "dismissal without valid economic reason" was hailed as a "huge victory" by the employees' lawyer, Me Fiodor Rilov. Management takes “note” of its side of this judgment and indicates “reserve the right to appeal”.

The total amount of damages to be paid was not immediately available. The court nevertheless asked for a provisional execution of this judgment, according to Mr. Rilov.

$ 1.7 billion in profit for Goodyear at the time

At the so-called January 28 tiebreaker hearing, which about 550 people attended, Me Rilov insisted on the global operating profits at the time of the Goodyear group, amounting to $ 1.7 billion.

He considered this affair as "emblematic of the refusal of workers to let themselves be crushed during the dismantling of their work tool while their employer makes colossal profits".

“I am happy and proud of the victory obtained today. It will not give back work to those who have remained on the side of the road, which will not restore social and human dramas, welcomed for its part Evelyne Becker, ex-CGT delegate of the company. But it is a victory that gives us back our dignity in the face of a multinational that has despised and humiliated us. ”
