On 28 May, the Michelin group announced "a necessary adjustment" to its workforce in France (17,000 employees). The tyre giant plans to cut 1,500 jobs over three years, primarily in white-collar functions, through voluntary redundancies. Negotiations with trade unions are scheduled to start on 17 June. They will cover both the conclusion of a framework agreement for a RCC (collective mutually agreed contractual termination) as well as a GEPP (jobs and career paths management) agreement.
On 28 May, Michelin’s management informed trade unions and all staff of its intention to carry out a workforce “adjustment” in France, citing a “highly unstable economic context” and “excessively high costs”. This announcement comes just a year and a half after the announced closure of the Vannes and Cholet sites and the signing of a PSE (employment safeguarding plan) which affected a total of 1,254 employees.
