Maurice "Morry" Taylor, who goes by "The Grizz" for his bear-like
no-nonsense style, told France's left-wing industry minister in a letter
published by Paris media that he had no interest in buying a doomed
plant.
"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 addressed to the minister, Arnaud Montebourg.
Then take tire production out of France and bring it to a southern state that does not have as much union control. All this "Grizz" character needed to do is say "France does not meet our cost criteria so we are shuttering the plant" and announce a new plant that is opening in Tennessee or somewhere similar.
