The painful experiences of an MRE at Michelin

While he worked at Michelin in Italy and in Vannes, France, a worker of Moroccan origin now finds himself unemployed due to the tire giant’s factory closure in less than 10 years.

The future is getting darker for Mustapha Arhzaf, 58, a worker at the Michelin factory in Vannes. This Italian-Moroccan who joined the tire giant’s factory in 2016 is threatened with losing his job. The Breton factory will have to close its doors by 2025, reports The Telegram. A situation that worries him and his 300 colleagues. “The closure announced on November 5 was really a hard blow for everyone, even for management, I saw it on their faces,” he said. “Most of my colleagues, until now, have not been able to digest the news. They had made plans for the years to come, and overnight, it collapsed,” summarizes the versatile worker, with 27 years of seniority at Michelin.
