Revin: Ideal Standard International farm in his turn!

The news came last night. Plant Ideal Standard International Revin, one of the oldest industrial jewels of the city that the locals call always with affection and nostalgia Porcher will close its doors, laying off 146 employees and ! It was no secret to anyone that this industrial site which had lost its pole devoted to development and industrialization the mid-2000s and its foundry in early 2007 and which was sold in November same year by the industry group American Standard American to Bain Capital Partners - an investment possessing the same nationality among other Burger King , Samsonite and Toys R us - was wrong because its production was limited to 220,000 pieces of ceramic in 2007 before falling to 144,000 in 2008 .. . while its production capacity amounts to 440,000 pieces per year .

Worse, in 2009 to cope with its declining market caused by economic crisis and rising competition, the factory had used in the first 8 months of the year 12 weeks of unemployment part which it was added 6 other end of the year and plan management of jobs and skills had been put in place to reduce the numbers carefully. In 2010 , the situation had improved somewhat fortunately, but this had not prevented staff from homer additional three weeks of December. All this was very bleak for the future, but then to imagine the outright closure of the site, there was not that nobody would dare cross.

The announcement of the planned disappearance of Ideal Standard International is a real blow to the economy revinoise which has already paid a very heavy price deindustrialization and always hovering over the threat of closure of Oxam and relocation of his first employer, the Electrolux factory Ardam . For employees which, a priori, will not return in the criteria to qualify for the professional transition contracts, is a disaster because their chances of finding employment within a reasonable distance are virtually nil. Given this situation, the RCM 08 calls governments to put in place as soon as possible a plan reindustrialization Basin jobs Revin . We also ask that any the arsenal available to the authorities be used in advance to prevent the closure of the factory Ardam . This is essential for Revin, which has already lost 15% of its population over the last decade and still only 2.75% last year, do not turn into a ghost town!
