What is a "non purely commercial operation"? Does this pay for the costs they're going to incur when closing the operation down?

It's so nice of you to add what you can to the group, Phyllis. Now run along and play with Dimmie.

A factory or an R&D center.

Well, given that Europe accounts for 20% of their revenues and North America for 32%, probably wthey could have laid off somebody in the US.

Says someone from a country where unions are (almost) mandatory... Talk about work rules. Still, the French are not known for excellent engineering. Eiffel has been dead for a long time. -- Failure does not prove something is impossible, failure simply indicates you are not using the right tools... nico@nctdevpuntnl (punt=.) --------------------------------------------------------------

A damned lie, except, perhaps, WRT government jobs. Twenty two states are "right to work" states, where one cannot be forced to join a union even though it is a "union shop". Fewer than one in twelve US private sector jobs are unionized (OTOH, more than one three government workers are - a real problem). Exceedingly few high-tech (engineering) jobs are union. But why should we expect other than lies from a Europeon leftist loon.

You already said that Phyllis. You're not adding anything to the group now.
