Two plans to save jobs at Michelin

Economy secretary Derek Mackay has presented Michelin with two proposals to try to save jobs at its closure-threatened factory in Dundee.

Michelin announced in October that the tyre plant, which employs 845 people, would stop production by mid-2020.

The Michelin Dundee Action Group was formed to attempt to protect jobs in the city.

Mr Mackay met representatives from the French firm in Edinburgh last week to outline the two alternatives put forward by the group.

The factory opened in 1972.
