Description
The manufacturer of personal care and consumer goods Procter & Gamble has announced a restructuring plan for its site of Blois that will lead to 75 job cuts from a total workforce of 420 employees by 2018. The management aims to modernise the plant with an investment plan of 300 million euro leading to a reduction in the workforce. The company wants to avoid forced dismissals and will propose various alternative measures including a voluntary departure plan, non-replacement of departing staff and internal mobility. The information and consultation process has started with the works council.
