Goodyear closing plant in Canada
The Associated Press
Tuesday, June 26, 2007
A Canadian mayor says Goodyear is closing a plant which will leave 165 people without jobs, a claim Goodyear says is speculative.
Collingwood, Ontario Mayor Chris Carrier confirmed the closure at a council meeting Monday night, but he did not announce a timetable.
He said 138 hourly employees and 27 salaried staff will be affected.
Goodyear spokesman Skip Scherer said no decision has been reached and that the mayor got his information from the plant manager.
"Any comments about the closing of the plant are speculative," said Scherer, who noted the sale of the plant is not complete.
The hose manufacturing plant was bought by the U.S-based Carlyle Group in March at the end of a bitter three-month strike.
Carrier's announcement follows recent word that Collingwood's Alcoa plant, which employs 330 people, is also scheduled to close soon.
