Renault poised to announce 15,000 layoffs worldwide: union

 

French carmaker Renault is poised to announce 15,000 layoffs worldwide on Friday as it unveils a plan to boost its profitability and cope with faltering sales, a representative for the CFDT union said after meeting with the company.

 

Some 4,500 jobs would go in France, though largely through a voluntary departure plan and a retirement scheme, the CFDTโ€™s Franck Daout told Reuters on Thursday.

 

โ€œTheyโ€™ve insisted on the fact everything will be negotiated,โ€ Daout said, adding that unions and state bodies would be involved in talks over potential job losses in France.

 

Renault was not immediately available for comment. The French group, which is 15% owned by the government, had earlier this year flagged a looming โ€œno tabooโ€ plan to cut 2 billion in costs after posting its first loss in a decade last year.

 

This has raised concern for some of its factories, including in France, although closures could be politically sensitive. The French government has already said it will not sign off on a planned 5 billion euro state loan for Renault - an aid measure linked to the coronavirus pandemic - until management and unions conclude talks over the carmakerโ€™s French workforce and plants in France.

 

The coronavirus crisis has compounded the carmakerโ€™s problems, accentuating a slump in demand which was already dragging on sales.
