Peugeot file à l'anglaise
Bon le titre je l'ai emprunté à Libé. Et la décision de PSA de fermer son site britannique fait la Une de tous les canards. La BBC explique en détail les raisons de ce choix sous forme de Questions/Réponses, dont voici un extrait :
I bet they wouldn't dare to close a factory of that size in France, would they?
PSA Peugeot Citroen would probably think twice before closing a factory in France, and not only due to national pride.
French car makers rely heavily on their home market and as such they are eager not to offend their customers.
Moreover, internationally they rely heavily on their national image, so any conflict arising from a pull-out of France could have dire consequences.
And since French labour laws give more protection to workers, large-scale closures there would most probably have sparked a higher level conflict than in the UK.
But having said that, PSA boss Jean Martin Folz has said he would not shy away from closing any factories in Western Europe should they prove too expensive.
Le Telegraph, lui, reprend quelques paroles des représentants des syndicats, qui indiquent que si l'usine est la plus chère du groupe c'est parce qu'elle était obligée de s'approvisionner en France... et surtout que "We have a verbal agreement with the French unions that any closure or attack on one plant is an attack against everyone and we will be seeking solidarity action."
vers une Europe syndicale ?
