Titan International's Maurice Taylor, nicknamed The Grizz for his negotiating style, told the left-wing French industry minister in a letter published by media on Wednesday that he had no interest in rescuing a plant set for closure.



The French workforce gets paid high wages but works only three hours. They get one hour for breaks and lunch, talk for three and work for three, Taylor wrote on February 8 in the letter in English to the minister, Arnaud Montebourg.



I told this to the French union workers to their faces. They told me that's the French way! Taylor added in the letter, which was posted by business daily Les Echos on its website and which the ministry confirmed was genuine.
