Portuguese factory workers’ fight for their jobs highlights Europe’s struggle, hope for growth
– canadianbusiness.com
VILA NOVA DE GAIA, Portugal – A rusting yellow production line dangles from the ceiling of the cavernous Valadares factory, the long racks of ceramic sinks and toilets whose manufacture once provided jobs for 1,500 people gathering dust in the dim light from high windows.
The Portuguese factory shut down in 2012 amid Europe’s financial crisis, its huge debts and outdated business practices dooming it to bankruptcy. Now, on the factory floor some 10 metres (30 feet) below the symbols of the broken past, some former employees are back at their jobs and fighting to rebuild their lives after the business was reopened by private investors.
Valadares’ future is still at the mercy of financial uncertainty in countries using the euro currency, where many businesses are still too worried to invest and hire. But it’s a story of recovery that raises some hope for Portugal and the wider region as they try to create much-needed jobs.
European Union leaders meeting for a two-day summit Thursday will try to put into motion a big investment program and find solutions to Greece’s financial problems, which are casting a shadow of uncertainty…

A proxy for real estate bidding wars
– moneysense.ca
Auctions are the new real estate bidding wars (BarryCohen.com)Would you consider selling your home in an auction? While real estate auctions are a lot more common in the U.S.A, a Toronto realtor is hoping to attract some attention—and lots of money—by auctioning off a Bridle Path mansion.
Barry Cohen, a realtor with RE/MAX Realtron, scheduled an auction date with Concierge Auctions for April 16, 2015 for the sale of 40 Park Lane Circle in the extravagantly expensive section of Toronto’s Bridle Path area. Cohen is hoping the auction of this 6+2 bedroom, 14 bathroom, new-build mansion (which sits on 2.4 acres of land overlooking the ravine) will push the $13,980,000 list price up.
Auctions aren’t common but using a hold-back offer strategy is and this is the strategy many Toronto realtors (as well as realtors in other popular urban cities) use to push up the price. In an auction, the potential buyer needs to register. Hold-back strategies also require potential buyers to register (through their realtor and, typically, by formally submitting a purchase offer)…
