police in front of the French headquarters of the U.S. tire and rubber firm in the
western Paris suburb of Rueil-Malmaison on March 7 during a board meeting. Goodyear announced in January that it would close a factory in Amiens,
northern France, that employs 1,250 people by the end of 2014. With little
demand for its products, Goodyear has suffered losses of about $67 million a year at the plant. (LIONEL BONAVENTURE/AFP/Getty Images)
