PSA Peugeot Citroen has reached an agreement with three of its four French unions that will allow it to shutter its Aulnay assembly plant outside Paris in 2014.
If workers ratify the pact later this month, PSA plans to eliminate one of the factory's two shifts and almost immediately begin moving half of Aulnay's 3,000 employees to the company's nearby assembly facility in Poissy. Both factories build the Citroen C3 supermini.
PSA says the transfers will starter sooner than originally planned at the request of several unions. They complain that their members are being harassed for opposing the militant CGT union's strike action.
Production at the Aulnay factory has been slowed or idled by protests since mid-January.
PSA still faces a legal challenge from the CGT, whose lawsuit persuaded a Paris court to order the company to postpone its plan to eliminate 8,000 jobs in France this year.
