U.S. Tire Company tells French labor union not with your lazy ass workers.

The CEO of a U.S. tire maker has delivered a crushing summary of how some outsiders view France's work ethic in a letter saying he would have to be stupid to take over a factory whose staff only put in three hours work a day.

Titan International's Maurice Taylor, nicknamed "The Grizz" for his negotiating style, told the left-wing French industry minister in a letter published by media on Wednesday that he had no interest in rescuing a plant set for closure.

"The French workforce gets paid high wages but works only three hours. They get one hour for breaks and lunch, talk for three and work for three," Taylor wrote on February 8 in the letter in English to the minister, Arnaud Montebourg.

"I told this to the French union workers to their faces. They told me that's the French way!" Taylor added in the letter, which was posted by business daily Les Echos on its website and which the ministry confirmed was genuine.

Hahaha, I wish the french media could make a massive coverage of this story! This will send a shockwave to the leftards who elected this stupid François Hollande... Well, now that I think about it , he got elected by promising more lazyness and more "jobs" to the lame factory workers we've got here... If this guy, Dominique de Villepin, the greatest prime minister there ever been and a true political figure, had been elected.... He would have gotten rid of all of those counter productive factories and reconverted all those people to more complex jobs. There is no way of competing with , portugal, romania or turkey when it comes to wages, so he would simply have kept the french industry in phase with globalization !

France is good at making high end products, Airbus, Dassault, Bugatti , Nexter, Sagem, Safran, Areva, DCNS and so on... but we should just leave the heavy industry to our low cost colonies.

The french industry must only keep on its territory what makes it strength, what makes its know-how necessary! The rest will be much more productive in foreign countries... Stick to the important stuff! But the fucking socialist do not listen to listen, too afraid of the retards who go on strike whenever a marshmallow factory closes..

Lool , are you kidding, France 24 is mostly known outside france , don't expect the mass media like TF1 , M6 or France 2 to go into the details of that story The leftards do not want to see the right regaining power... I'm starting to miss Sarkozy... even though his way of thiking was maybe a bit too hardcore capitalist "american style" for a socio-caring european economy used to high minimal wages and numerous state funded social plans .
