Despite very satisfactory financial results and positive prospects for the Dunlop establishment in Montluçon, the management of Good Year, to which Dunlop belongs, decided to despise the employees, in response to their demands for salary increases.

16 euros! This is the amount of the profit-sharing bonus “generously” offered by the management of the group to reward the employees of the group, which has been exempted for 20 years from this payment thanks to tax optimization practices.
16 euros thrown in the face of the employees, thus despised. It’s a shame !
Neither increase in the “transport bonus”, while the price of fuel is exploding, nor exceptional bonus yet envisaged last May, and even less increase in wages, while the tire manufacturer is experiencing very positive financial results at the end of the pandemic and passes on increases in commodity and energy prices to its prices.
Once again, employment and wages are sacrificed to preserve and consolidate the margins of a large group.
We are resolutely alongside the employees who have been engaged in an indefinite strike since July 7, involving all categories of staff, from workers to management. We challenge the management of Good Year and ask them to take their responsibilities in the face of the rapid deterioration in the purchasing power of employees.
The Good Year group, like many multinationals, must stop making employees and consumers pay for the crisis. It must significantly increase salaries and renounce financial margins which serve only the interests of shareholders, whereas it is the employees who make the prosperity of the group.
