The announcement of the closure of the Aulnay site in the Parisian suburbs, a location which holds a great deal of history for PSA Peugeot Citroën, was, among a series of restructuring announcements made over the past six months, the one that resulted in the strongest expression of public opinion. It goes without saying that the outcome of negotiations on the social plan for the closure of this factory, which employs 3000 people but indirectly provides employment for 8000 people, has been eagerly anticipated, especially as the car manufacturer is considered to be a model company. On February 12, management and trade unions reached a draft final agreement on social support for the closure of the Aulnay site and on the cutting of 1400 jobs in the factory in Rennes. Four trade union organisations (CFE-CGC, CFTC, FO, SIA/GSEA) out of six have already indicated their approval. On top of this, there are also financial measures for internal mobility, a scheme specifically for mature employees to support them into full-pension retirement, and an 18-month transition period for employees on both sites so that they can benefit from reindustrialization measures.
