EFF statement on the retrenchments at Dana Spicer Axle and the collapse of automotive Industry in Nelson Mandela Bay. Thursday, 21 May 2026. The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) condemns the ongoing retrenchments at Dana Spicer Axle in Kariega, Nelson Mandela Bay, where more than 60 workers have reportedly already lost their jobs through a Section 189 retrenchment process. These dismissals represent yet another devastating attack on the working class in a region already suffering catastrophic unemployment and economic collapse. Dana Spicer Axle is a key supplier to major automotive corporations including Isuzu, Ford and Toyota, and operates within a broader automotive manufacturing chain that has increasingly shifted the burden of economic instability onto workers while executives and multinational shareholders continue to protect profits. Workers organized under NUMSA have raised serious concerns regarding the manner in which the retrenchments were conducted, including allegations that workers were abruptly informed of their dismissals, pressured into signing documentation without adequate representation, and offered severance packages that are insufficient to sustain their families. The EFF stands firmly with the workers of Dana Spicer Axle and condemns the continued deindustrialisation of Nelson Mandela Bay and the Eastern Cape. Reports indicate that more than 6,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost in the metro over the past 18 months, with the automotive components sector being among the hardest hit. Just this year Goodyear South Africa announced the closure of its manufacturing operations in Kariega, placing more than 900 workers at risk, while Ford South Africa issued retrenchment notices affecting hundreds of workers at its Struandale operations in Gqeberha. This crisis exposes the failure of South Africa's industrial policy and the consequences of allowing local manufacturing to collapse under the pressure of cheap imports, declining localisation, and weak state intervention. While automotive corporations continue to benefit from public incentives and the labour of South African workers, communities are being destroyed through mass retrenchments and economic abandonment. The EFF rejects the logic that workers must pay for declining profits and fluctuating orders. Workers are not disposable machinery that can simply be discarded whenever corporations seek to preserve profit margins. The situation at Dana Spicer Axle must also be understood as part of a broader assault on industrial employment across the Eastern Cape, where communities built around automotive manufacturing are being plunged deeper into poverty. The EFF therefore calls for an immediate moratorium on further retrenchments and demands urgent intervention by government to protect jobs, support localization, and defend domestic manufacturing capacity. The EFF has formally written to the Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Trade, Industry and Competition, calling on him to urgently summon Dana Spicer Axle, NUMSA, Isuzu, Ford, Volkswagen, and Toyota to a meeting aimed at halting the retrenchments, defending workers, and addressing the deepening collapse of manufacturing employment in Nelson Mandela Bay.

Goodyear may close Fayetteville plant, putting 1,700 jobs at risk. One of the largest employers in the Fayetteville area, Goodyear, could close by the end of 2027. Here's what to know. May 13, 2026 Goodyear Tire & Rubber, one of Cumberland County's largest employers, could shut its doors by the end of next year, according to a statement from the company. The closure would leave 1,700 people without a job. Spokesperson Kylie Ulanski released the following statement from the company: "After extensive efforts to make the Fayetteville, North Carolina facility competitive, Goodyear is in discussions with the United Steelworkers to close the facility by the end of 2027. This difficult action is necessary to strengthen Goodyear's ability to compete in today's marketplace and support the long-term health of the business. Our focus is on treating all impacted associates fairly and communicating openly as discussions move forward." Read this story for free. Already subscribed? Enter your email to continue.
Goodyear Tire & Rubber shares rose 6% following strategic moves to strengthen its balance sheet and production capabilities. The company completed three major divestitures generating over $2.2 billion, which it used to retire high-interest debt. Separately, Goodyear concluded a four-year, $320 million expansion of its Lawton, Oklahoma plant, boosting capacity by nearly 30% to add 10 million larger-rim tyres annually. The expansion supports the company's pivot toward higher-margin premium tyres, including products for electric vehicles. Despite recently dropping from first to shared second place in J.D. Power's 2026 U.S. Original Equipment Tyre Customer Satisfaction Study, Goodyear's focus on premium products and cost reduction signals a shift toward improved efficiency and financial flexibility. Analysts project revenue of $18.5 billion by 2029, though risks from tariffs and low-cost imports remain.
Goodyear Blimp Europe tour 2026: A European motorsport comeback. * By TT News * April 04, 2026 The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company has officially launched its 2026 Goodyear Blimp Europe tour, returning the iconic airship to the skies above European motorsport events. This marks a highly anticipated comeback for one of aviation's most famous aircraft, which will first appear during the opening FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) race of the season. Spectators at the track can expect a breathtaking sight as the blimp soars overhead, enhancing the atmosphere of race weekend. For decades, the Goodyear Blimp has been closely linked with legendary sporting moments and stands as a proud emblem of Goodyear's racing heritage. Its planned flights over FIA WEC races will allow both live attendees and global viewers to catch a glimpse of the airship capturing stunning aerial footage. This tour takes on added significance as Goodyear celebrates 75 years of operations in Luxembourg, a milestone year for the company in Europe. Beyond tyre production, Luxembourg hosts Goodyear's only Innovation Centre outside United States, where cutting edge technologies and motorsport partnerships are developed. Fans attending select FIA World Endurance Championship events across Europe throughout the 2026 season are encouraged to watch the skies for the blimp's appearances. The tour not only highlights Goodyear's deep roots in racing but also underscores its longstanding commitment to European innovation and manufacturing excellence. Jan-Piet van Kesteren, Managing Director EMEA & Chief Sales Officer EMEA Consumer, said, "The Goodyear Blimp is one of the most iconic symbols in racing. Seeing it fly above in the skies of several main FIA WEC races is always a special moment for fans. We are excited to bring the Goodyear Blimp back to European skies and share that experience with racing audiences across the region."
