# The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa says it’s in talks with the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition to find strategic partners to take over the Goodyear SA plant in the Eastern Cape. The tyre manufacturing plant in Kariega shut its doors last Friday, resulting in over 900 job losses. Numsa’s spokesperson, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, says they have managed to secure an improved package for workers as part of the retrenchment process:
