Ghosn Tells French Workers They Need To Worry Less About Wages And More About Productivity

Renault CEO Carlos Ghosn said the automaker must find solutions to increase productivity fast, as the European market heads towards its sixth year of decline.

“It’s a very comprehensive plan to try and bring back competitiveness to Renault in France,” Ghosn said today in an interview in Davos with Bloomberg Television. “There’s a good consciousness in France that the competitiveness of France needs to be enhanced.”

Sounds like Carlos is saying "stop your whining, or I'll ship your jobs to places that pay less; i.e. Mexico, China or the U.S."

Nonsense. France ranks amongst the most productive nations on Earth. As usual, automotive Executive Management is trying to pin product failures on the auto worker, when it is Product Design, Engineering, and Marketing that has failed. This is a leadership problem, not a worker problem. As with GM, terrible product design and quality compared to foreign competition was met with lackluster sales. French automakers have lagged in design, engineering, and marketing for decades now... and production workers have little if anything to do with it.
