Yeah - they shoulda just told the shareholders to go f*ck themselves so they (the shareholders) would pull all the money out of the company so it could go bust completely and cost thousands of jobs instead.....yeah.

On a side issue; as an ex-Fortex worker I know how they feel...it will rip their guts out.
But they will survive.

NZ manufacturing is going down the tubes as overseas offers cheaper wage costs.

[Usarka]

And the exchange rates are so high making it hard to sell overseas. You can only sell so many appliances to a 4 million person economy......

Sad for the workers and the country alright.

[MIXONE]

Buy New Zealand Made.Tuis.
I had to phone F&P call centre last week.I couldn't understand why the lady on the other end didn't know where I was calling from.Then she told me the cc is in Australia.WTF
This is going to be the norm from now on.Thanks Labour for the "Free Trade Agreement"

The other one today is ANZ bank outsourcing 500 jobs to Bangalore - bummer.

Weird thing was I'm on my daily commute on the train this morning and a dude sits next to me and starts going through his papers and annotating them and sure enough I see at a glance its all about the Bangalore thing. I can't believe the stuff you see on the train because people seem to act like they are in a private office but there you are jammed together in seats that only fit two midgets my size and the papers are right in front of your face.

F&P workers complained about hearing it on the radio first - seems bosses these days aren't very caring or careful at all.

[Hitcher]

The Bloody Labour Gummint should pay them the subsidy they were going to pay the All Blacks. Or pass a law making F&P and all other manufacturers stay in New Zealand until they go bust. Makes sense.

[homer]

not good a merv

[sugilite:Me]

I stopped buying Fisher & Paykel gear a few years back, new fridge had issues, washing machine had issues, and dish Draw has 3 freaking things wrong with it. Blardy sux for the workers, and yeah, the bosses don't give a flying fuck, hence the 'radio announcement' Gutless shitheads
