Trigano, manufacturer of leisure vehicles, is to cut 93 jobs at its plant in Tournan-sur-Rhöne (Ardèche). As announced, the management and unions negotiated a social plan to reduce the number of dismissals (150 initially) and to increase severance pay. The negotiations are expected to conclude in the end of April. As reported, the management also announced its commitment to maintain about 565 jobs in the next three years in the plant.
