The unions' fears were well-founded. Auchan presented to its staff representatives on Tuesday, November 5, a draft social plan threatening 2,389 jobs in France, notably through the closure of around ten stores, AFP learned from the group's management.
In detail, the distributor, which employs around 54,000 people in France, plans to cut 784 positions within its headquarters and 915 positions in stores. It provides for the cessation of direct home delivery activity, which would result in 224 job cuts.
It also plans to close around ten unprofitable points of sale (466 positions eliminated), including three hypermarkets in Clermont-Ferrand Nord (Puy-de-Dôme), Woippy (Moselle) and Bar-le-Duc (Meuse), and a supermarket in Aurillac (Cantal). Management hopes to limit the number of redundancies through support for the employees concerned, retraining training, reclassification leave and voluntary departure plan.
