Flexibility at all levels to face the uncertainties of the automotive world and a particular effort for executives. Here is the broad outline of the result of the new “2025-2017 social contract” signed for the 40,000 employees in France, this Thursday, November 19, by management with two unions, the CFE-CGC, the group’s first organization, and the CFDT . The CGT, the third representative union, neck and neck with the CFDT, did not sign the document.

The manufacturer wants to be ready to accelerate or decelerate vehicle production depending on demand, difficulties in supplying parts or site conversions to electric or a new model. “We have had partial unemployment in our Batilly factory [carrosserie et montage des camionnettes Master, en Meurthe-et-Moselle] in recent weeks due to lack of parts.
