Description

The public hospital in Brest has announced a restructuring plan to cut 183 positions in order to eliminate a deficit of € 8, 7 million. Management highlighted the need to modernise the hospital. Unions organised a strike (11, 5pc of employees have participated) to denounce job cuts. The job reduction measure will take place by means of natural attrition and retirements (300 departures are scheduled in the next two years, so that 117 will not be replaced).
