The future of Seafrance
- 14 April 2010 18:1047344It would appear that strike action over the four day Easter holiday has finally brought things to a head at Seafrance. The management of the company have referred the situation to the commerical court in Paris so a judge will now decide the company's future. The chief executive was qouted in the French press as saying the company will run out of money in May.

Such is French labour relations.
Watty - 14 April 2010 19:1747356cannot happen here, assisted suicide is illegal.
i feel sorry for the seafrance based here, they take all the flak from disappointed travellers, then get the order of the boot for no fault of their own. - 15 April 2010 05:5847422I agree about the suicide Howard.
Trade Union solidarity may thought to be good by some, but used unnecesarily and stupidly , creating their own unemployment, is sheer madness.
Roger - 15 April 2010 09:0847430Just to let everyone know...I have had an email in from a Senior Manager at Seafrance asking that I delete Paul Watkins post above on the grounds that it is not helpful at a difficult time for the company.
Ive looked at Paul's post and I dont think it contains anything worthy of deletion..a tad cycnical perhaps!!
but not a deletable offence. Ive also taken into account Paul's position in the community.
Would just ask Members though to be careful..the content is read widely..and particularly the frontpage is read widely, so a degree of sensitivity is required on threads that are obviously..well..sensitive.
Seafrance will be sending us in a press release updating the situation shortly.email: dover7@msn.com - 15 April 2010 11:1247449Good for you PaulB, standing up for freedom of speach despite an onslaught from the tyranical French. I hope your reply contained words such as Trafalgar, Waterloo, Agincourt, Cressy! I'm sure we beat them at tiddlywinks too!
