much time!
Time flies, but it does not carry the memories. Not all at least not ones that count. 3 years ago began the second strike by Boillat and on my side, I started my blog. It was crazy, seeing all these people to ignite a factory for a great way to do his job, for dignity. Journalists, politicians, population, business, everybody was involved.
And now? What is he, if not an empty shell became a factory, where some people still work, wondering when the end will come? A Boillat relegated to his fate, mutilated to death, all efforts of the world will not save.
That leaves the memories that come back again and again. So remember us!
It was daring
To make the first strike, without notice, in reaction to the dismissal of Andrew Villemin, you had to have courage. But for the second, get back into such a conflict, because no solution had been found, it took more than courage: he had a conviction that to be right, it can overcome the stupidity of the revolt . So it was January 26, 2006 that the machines are silent again. Boillat the plunge into the unknown because this time, we would not be satisfied in a protocol form of promises not kept. The region and beyond, was mobilized for the first strike and after a few months of new sales coming from the direction of Swissmetal, she was ready to begin again, louder. All the forces that converged Reconvilier could hope to support the strikers.
It was not enough. You want to ask: what have we done wrong? What could we have done? The answer to both questions is, I think, "Nothing." The Boillat, and those who supported them, did everything they could, and even a little more. Nothing on the internet, working hours of the few people who have worked amounted to ... thousands, as the number of protesters who came to support this cause.
Yet it was not enough. Stupidity, when it is so deeply implanted in the mind of an entrepreneur, seems decidedly incurable. We are in a liberal country and which, therefore, leaves considerable latitude to those who take the responsibilities of employers. This liberalism implies a certain fair play: "We do not impose many rules, but is expected of you a sense of responsibility," the state seems to say to the bosses. On Hellweg is the kind of things we can not wait any more than can be expected of humility, intelligence or even a little savvy.
But eventually showed that Martinou, the Maîîître Swissmetal, was not alone. The naivete with which Marcel Ospel, the proud manager overpaid to-hem-merit, drove in UBS subprime example is the most scathing. And today we learn that, against all common sense, banks have invested with a vengeance in the funds Madoff, named after a crook, that his own son had to report to the judicial. However, there is a difference between these people and Martin Hellweg. Ospel as Madoff have shown themselves capable of building things and have ideas, even if, ultimately, too saturated with pride, they lost sight of reality, not to say they outright crazy. The story of Martin Hellweg, by cons, is entirely that of a leech, whose sole responsibility is to sell itself. Everything he does is run businesses, then to say he had actually saved from worse.
Martinou traveled long before hitting a bone. And this bone, it was the Boillat. They knew enough to know that their plant was good for her, and to know that Martin Hellweg and the clique that surrounded them were negative. The silence was still following the appalling destruction wrought by Hellweg, but Boillat made noise. This noise can be heard by potential agents of Ally management, restructuring the company that issued the CEO Swissmetal. The Boillat
were right and now that the economic crisis hit, it is all too apparent. Swissmetal losing money and announced that everything goes well to hide the fall of its share price. Currently, action is 7 francs Swissmetal 80, or less than its issue price: the fall, huge, not only due to the crisis. Knowing that Swissmetal issued any 6'624'106 actions, the entire group is, for its shareholders, just under 52 million francs. Remember we now have a figure that had been circulating: the buyers were willing to pay 60 million francs for the Boillat alone! What are the unconscious could refuse such an offer, and then destroy the effectiveness of Swissmetal? Martinou and his faithful Fridou!
That money, they did not want, did not prevent them from destroying valuable if they said Boillat. Stupidity has culminated in the destruction of two presses. The average human being, beast as he is, imagine that when you set off a machine as complex as the new Press Dornach, we take the precaution of keeping the old press in case. The direction of Swissmetal had everything planned so that, for her, these precautions were useless: their genius could not fail.
Bankruptcy Intellectual Martinou and his henchmen in
Yet Martinou, in his infinite humility, conceded still some problems, starting its report in November 2008 and :
"The problems we meet since the beginning of the year to start our new extrusion press seem very insignificant face the current crisis Financial World ".The way to minimize is so big that it's almost a joke. Martinou From all spit, which he always explains to people who disagree:" Seen from the moon, the problem you have is insignificant. " Seen from the moon, in fact, the only thing that is meaningful for Martinou, is his ego. And this press insignificant, which is still the central element of the production line Swissmetal not work. And machines that could ensure the production until it works (if possible ...), the management of Swissmetal decided to destroy them.
Against this, the Boillat and their supporters have done everything, and even a little more. But faced with such a monument of stupidity, what solution could there be? However, we were right, and the passage of time shows us every day. Swissmetal business disaster, business has become a disaster. So much so that at the direction of Swissmetal, one realizes ... That is to say! Yvonne Simonis, which guaranteed its signature updates and analysis that smell very bad, left the ship. Apparently, she did not quite live in risk.
Since the beginning of the year, Swissmetal publish good news about good news. The Stratech has not changed: the more things go wrong, more Swissmetal Announces wonders to come. So, it goes very wrong. On 9 January, we discovered that Calotile, now due to some concerns Solartile image is finally named the ATMOVA . A true poetry class! There are of course plenty of concrete projects and, as we know, the citizen loves to spend more money when it is the ecology crisis. In short, it will work thunder (well, especially during storms when it conducts electricity!).
The Sea Serpent tubes landing gear has surfaced Jan. 16. Great news, after years of the certification process, Messier-Dowty, a leader in the field, has agreed the product CN8. One day, perhaps, an order will she ... And then he'll have to see if Swissmetal can still produce the CN8. It is not important, since, according to the statement, "Other finalization process qualifications are expected in the coming months." For which products? For which customers? When? Normally, if a statement does not answer these questions is that answers do not exist, that is bullshit.
And finally, January 23, we learned that the "market demand" is "eclectic" ... This could mean that Swissmetal still several different customers! It could also mean that the flow control is enough ... Flexible! Again, Karl still admire these outbursts of poetry swissmétalienne. The best is the enemy of good, except in the matter, why is a second serving:
"The market demand has started very well since the beginning of the year for Swissmetal but it remains very unstable. In different segments of the market it shows mixed results. On the last three months, we see a situation greatly reduced. On today's perspective, the production sites of Swissmetal do not need to make redundancies. Swissmetal fits the needs capacity by taking measures of short on time already initiated at the sites of Lüdenscheid and Reconvilier. In the central services, namely non-production of the 134 full-time positions, about 35 will be removed in order to preserve the business consequences of a possible lawsuit or a tightening of the economic crisis.It revolves around pot, one feels, but it's beautiful! "The market demand" which "shows mixed results." Language is pushed to its utmost limits, here. Especially when we learn that "a point current view, "there is no need to dismiss but, for reasons of retirement, Swissmetal will lay off 35 people anyway, out of production (and therefore rather small heads in Dornach). The only advantage of the relief supervisor, this will be Jean-Pierre Tardent, who managed to sneak in again to get the position of Director for Research & Development, Technical Marketing and Quality Management ", no less.
What else?
can turn the problem as you will, but Swissmetal Boillat with and is soon down the road. For Swissmetal, it will be with joy. The pain of their incompetence they explode in the face is nothing compared to what Martinou, and their second Fridou and deserve, but at least they will know that in this story, the idiots were not those they believed. Karl hopes that in the shareholding, someone will want to repay the attacker to justice. For Boillat, it will be with sadness. Boillat products have not been replaced and there would always be a place for a smelter that produces real quality. But how can a free press could cast it get there?
Life sometimes surprises and one of them, an extraordinary, celebrates its 3 years today. Happy birthday to you, the strikers!
