Jean Rottner, President of the Greater East Region, met Wednesday, January 17, 2018, the representatives of employees of the Industrial Pole of Metz-Trémery PSA come to intersyndicale seek his support for the candidacy of Metz.
Indeed, the Metz site, historically specialized in the manufacture of mechanical gearboxes, is a candidate within the Group to welcome soon the new productive investments intended for the manufacture of automatic boxes in order to equip the future vehicles.
Jean Rottner reassured the employees by highlighting the strong relationship between the Region and its industries, particularly with the PSA Group, making it possible to emphasize the importance of investing industrially in the Greater East.
The competence of the PSA Group’s staff in Metz, the know-how, the geographical position, the support of the communities and the quality of the regional ecosystem are all industrial and logistical assets pleading in favor of the application Metz “Jean reminded Rottner.

The release of Denis Sommer, MP (LREM) Doubs
Denis Sommer is MP for The Republic in March for the 3rd district of Doubs. He is also a former employee of Peugeot, a former trade unionist. He voted the labor law that allows this conventional collective break.
Here is the release of Denis Sommer:
“The PSA Group is preparing to put in place a voluntary redundancy plan, which should mainly concern human resources, studies and finance personnel.” This is not PSA’s first plan. It will be negotiated in full with the unions and the labor administration will have to give its opinion: the orders determine a clear negotiating framework for collective bargaining breaks.
However, this project that will be discussed on January 9th calls for three remarks from me.
1- The voluntary departure plan must be open to production staff. Those who have experienced shift work, night work, assembly lines must be able to benefit from age measures in a framework that preserves their rights to retirement.
2- The production site of Sochaux can not think of its development in the long term with an employment policy essentially geared towards temporary work. To count 50% of the production staff in acting, as it is the case today, is contrary to the spirit of this type of employment. In addition, the costs related to the remuneration of temporary work agencies lead to an increase in payroll of 20 to 30%. How, under these conditions, can management claim that the cost of labor in France is too high? Deliberately, it finances the precariousness of the work whereas it should bet on the securing of the jobs by hirings in CDI which allow the loyalty of the employees, their rise in skills over time and their appropriation of the industrial stakes of the group on the means and long terms.
3- PSA’s research and development strategy needs to be clarified. The impact of the purchase of Opel on the activity and employment in the R & D centers in France and Germany as well as the future workload of the Offices of External Studies deserve clarification in a period when the manufacturers accelerate their investments in electric traction and fuel cells.
On these three questions, I will ask Carlos Tavares in the coming days. “
