A French court has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a local union that sought to block PSA Peugeot Citroen from eliminating 8,000 jobs in France.
The challenge was made by CGT, which represents workers at PSA affiliate Faurecia SA. The carmaker owns 57% of the French supplier.
PSA unveiled a restructuring plan in July that includes the job cuts and a factory closing. CGT claims that when PSA met with its European works council that month it failed to adequately describe the impact of the program on its units and affiliates, including Faurecia.
The union says it will appeal the ruling.

Shifting Landscape of Technology Is a Never-Ending Education
Brent Donaldson, Senior Editor, Modern Machine Shop and Additive Manufacturing Magazine discusses how the shifting landscape of technology that all of Gardner’s writers and editors cover is a never-ending education. If we are truly doing our jobs, we will never feel like we’ve mastered them. As I continue writing and reporting for AM and MMS, it’s easy to imagine how these technologies’ interdependency will continue to grow. It also seems clear that this kind of reporting — the kind that requires editors to experience and share new manufacturing technologies and strategies — is the kind of reporting that only Gardner can produce with any depth. I’m grateful to be part of it.
