It's a *****ty situation for all those who work for Rover, people who've worked hard to produce the goods. Whether the cars they build are good bad or indifferent, it's not the shop floor workers fault the company is going to the wall. Again, with the suppliers who are going to suffer - ok maybe their management should/could have foreseen the situation and looked to broaden their customer base, but the people who work on their shop floors have had no influence in their management's decisions. Bottom line is, thousands of people who had no input to the politics/management that have created this situation are the ones who are ultimately going to suffer, and they deserve better. |
