Re: @Rob. D.Whats the issue?
But then again so are the people of Sunderland about Nissan effectively winding down operations.
They are? News to Nissan.
About 700 redundancies have been announced but that's in response to a European drop in automotive sales - they laid off 1200 people in 2009 (the Primera went EOL around the same time as the 2008 Crash killed automotive sales).
NMUK will grow again in another 12 months when the new Qashqai and X-Trails start production. Nissan have also invested in a very expensive Li-Ion battery plant at what remains the most efficient automotive plant in Europe, so they're not going to be in a hurry to close it all down and shift it to France unless they absolutely have to.
