The company that I work for has been sold four times - and is up for sale as we speak (makes 5 times). The company that bought us and eventually sold us to the present ownership was an investment banking company. FWIW - those were some of the best times we ever had...when the investment banking company owned us.
For the first time, we were owned by a company that cared about making us profitable and they understood that in order to make money, you have to spend money. They sold us to the present ownership (another big international company) and now they want to sell us.
Rumor has it that one of the leading candidates to buy us is the same investment bankers that sold us.....
I never lost my seniority, my pension, my 401k, etc. So keep your chin up and remember that it could be worse - Goodyear could have just shut your division down.
Best of luck and try not to worry about things over which you have no control. I know - easier said than done, but hang in there.

dont worry!!! they sold the company. so what!! you more than likely wont notice anything different. when big companies get sold, the corparation is sold. and along with it the contracts and the obligations also. and the employee benifits and terms usually stay the same. if they do change anything. notice will be givin in advance several months. it will all be fine!!! maybe even better!!

I understand your concern and fear of the uncertainty... there is a credo that I live by.
Focus on the things in life that you can control and don't worry about the things you can't....
best of luck!
