VOICED: Facing factory closure, French take protest to Germany

Continental workers from France and Germany protested against the planned closure of factories, which would result in significant job losses. Despite some shareholder support, the management decided to proceed with the closures. The French government mentioned a potential takeover by a Dubai firm, but Continental denied this, leaving workers uncertain. The workers remain hopeful, despite the challenges posed by globalization. They plan to meet with state and company representatives to seek government intervention.

How did the French government respond to the situation with the Clairvaux site?

What do the workers hope to achieve by meeting with state and company representatives?
