PSA Peugeot Citroen says it will cut an additional 1,500 jobs through attrition by 2014. The company's financial condition has worsened as Europe's auto sales plummeted.
PSA unveiled a separate plan in July to shed 8,000 jobs in France and close a factory in Aulnay, France, in 2014. The latest reductions also don't include the elimination of 6,000 jobs across Europe the company announced last year.
The FO union tells Bloomberg news that PSA has informed workers that the company's French workforce will shrink 17% to 55,900 by 2014.
PSA lost €819 million in the first half of 2012. The company's cash outflow and debt are mounting. PSA factories ran at 57% of capacity in France last year.

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.
