Strike Action Against Job Cuts
Renault Suffer Strike Action
Renault staff went on strike yesterday in protest against the French manufacturer’s plans to axe approximately 6000 jobs across Europe.
Whilst the cuts won’t take effect until next year, Renault confirmed that 4000 jobs would be axed in France with a further 2000 across their other European sites.
The proposed action is designed to help the struggling manufacturer to make 350m Euros in cost savings in 2009 and 500m Euros in 2010.
Renault and trade unions are in disagreement over the number on strike but the effect will undoubtedly be profound and rock the entire motor trade.

A 4x4 Mini Adventure?!
A crossover between a Mini Clubman and a SUV, BMW has reportedly confirmed that the concept will eventually become a feature on our roads. Unlike the Clubman, the Mini 4×4 will apparently boast 2 rear doors and will break the 4 metre mark in terms of length - think of it as a Mini estate capable of carrying two trendy parents and their kids!
