Up to 2,500 older workers will leave PSA Peugeot Citroen in 2014-15 under a deal struck with the trade unions in 2013. Peugeot, which employs some 70,000 people in France, has pledged to cut payroll costs to 12.5% of group revenue by 2016 from 15.1% in 2013.
Up to 2,500 older workers will leave PSA Peugeot Citroen in 2014-15 under a deal struck with the trade unions in 2013. Peugeot, which employs some 70,000 people in France, has pledged to cut payroll costs to 12.5% of group revenue by 2016 from 15.1% in 2013. The departure terms for senior workers amount to a form of early retirement - funded by restructuring charges rather than payroll until the employees reach pensionable age. The number, higher than the 2,000 previously anticipated, reflects a bigger-than-expected uptake of the voluntary scheme. Under the deal with unions, the company is hiring cheaper young workers under temporary training contracts.
