Officials from labor unions across Europe are insisting that PSA Peugeot Citroen and General Motors Co. immediately disclose any plans to shutter factories or eliminate jobs as part of their newly formed alliance, Reuters reports.
The news service cites a statement issued by the EMB European trade union group after a meeting in Brussels on Wednesday. Reuters says labor officials want GM and PSA to reveal planned production volume and employment levels at all their plants in Europe.
The companies are widely believed to be planning plant closings and job cuts. But they have repeatedly said their respective restructuring plans are not related to the alliance they announced in February. They say the partnership is focused on shared purchasing and product development.

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.
