Well, do you think they would be willing to pay redundancy for all 13 000 workers, build a new factory somewhere and then train 10 000 new workers for an unspecified production start ? There seem to me to be far too many dangerous , expensive decisions for a new boss to make.In his place I would not be wanting to make huge, unnecessary bets on future outcomes;better to reduce the work-force by two thousand and keep production availability intact without risking any headlines like " Biggest financial catastrophe since A 380 cabling disaster "
