The 11,600 jobs lost between 2011 and 2013 were clearly not enough: Peugeot Citroen wants to continue its adjustments in staffing in 2015. The management of the automotive group has formalized its intentions Monday at a central committee extraordinary works. With a simple principle: to separate senior employees that operate in industries in crisis and hire young people on work for tasks become

The numbers that do not match the needs After relocated part of its production abroad and face sales? down in Europe, Peugeot Citroën is left with much higher numbers to their needs in France. The automotive group therefore wants to continue downsizing began in 2012. Or rather the adaptation of its workforce, as it now is to separate the employees working in occupations where needs decrease to increase enrollment in business booming. And obviously, this restructuring is not over 29% of employees operate in PSA decline in business, according to the Observatory trades and skills

2.050 new beginnings and 1,400 land-use changes. The management has therefore announced Monday it would provide 1,500 seniors leave, that can go several years before the legal retirement age, with 70% of salary. But also 550 “secure external mobility”, that is to say, a departure from the company with the opportunity to return, if the employee chooses, up to two years after his departure. Or 2,050 fewer jobs.

The manufacturer also hopes to convince “around 1,400 employees” to change internally post. But the goal, which specifically targets Poissy sites, Mulhouse and Rennes, seems hardly attainable: in 2014, a similar device has attracted only 50 employees on an initial target of 250

. . 2,550 hires alternating In consideration of departures, PSA will recruit 2,000 young people on work in 2015. It has a double advantage: these employees cost less than seniors and are trained in new trades that develop. The company should also conduct some 550 permanent recruits, mainly in marketing and electronic electricity sector.

A real bloodletting since 2012 On paper, so there is more than hiring Departures. But those ads are sensitive to a group that has continued to reduce its workforce since 2012: Beyond the very symbolic closure of the factory in Aulnay-sous-Bois, in Seine Saint Denis, 11600 positions were eliminated between late 2011 and late 2013

Despite the magnitude of this reorganization, the bad news continued to accumulate in 2014. 2,100 seniors leave have been concluded, “twice expected “by the trade magazine L’Usine Nouvelle , and 300 temporary workers employed on the site of Sochaux, were dismissed in November. Not to mention the Peugeot Scooters subsidiary whose PSA is negotiating the sale to the Indian Mahindra and employs 488 people. In this context, the CGT denounced “a new plan of job reductions” and did not fail to recall the “sacrifices” already made by employees in the name of recovery.

The evolution medium-term workforce in the automotive industry PSA is indeed impressive: the number of employees (permanent and fixed-term contracts) increased from 136,400 in 1985 to 58,000 in 2014. An inexorable decline which is interrupted between 1999 and 2004. The workforce abroad, after doubling between 1985 and 2005, remained stable since
