PSA Peugeot Citroen resumed operations on Monday at its assembly plant in Aulnay, France, after a 10-day halt caused by labor unrest.
As the factory reopened, about 200 members of the CGT union again temporarily blocked production at the facility, which is scheduled to close in 2014. CGT says workers want new jobs, early retirement at age 55 and permanent contracts for all employees.
Workers occupied the plant on Jan. 16, and PSA locked out strikers last week. The company says it used part of that time to repair damage caused by some protesters.
PSA is scheduled to meet with its unions on Tuesday to discuss its plans to eliminate 8,000 jobs in France. The company says the demonstrations involved a minority of the facility's 2,800 employees.

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.
