Does someone know how many workers are on Brembo payroll? The significance of these lay offs is different if they have 2.000 or 20.000 employees.

Hahaha love some of the comments above.

But seriously, I agree with Elitist and hope Brembo stays in business. I have their stoppers on one of my bikes and they’re just so sharp and responsive, love ‘em.

Italians great at making high performance components. Everyone swears by them.

Sorry guys but I know you only report what is out there in the press but the headline was a little sensationalistic wasn’t it?? Sure they are standing down between 540 & 680 w/collar guys for 20 days, but I like the guestimates of the workers who may also be stood down, 120 > 1,160????? Sounds a little speculative doesn’t it? Especailly after the headline…

Here’s a challenge Alborz, for every 4 bad news stories you get at the moment, find a good news or light hearted one (like the “how to park the landcruiser)…. go see if you can. Do it for a week and I’ll put up a carton of crownies.
