PSA’s plan for collective breaks has been widely approved by the unions. Review: 1,300 departures and 1,300 hires planned this year, which should allow a renewal of trades.
It’s official: PSA will be the first company to use the conventional collective breaks device. While the unions had already largely voted in favor of this device, the official vote has confirmed the trend. Five out of six unions (FO, CFDT, CFTD, SIA / GSEA and CFE / CGC), representing 80% of employees, signed the agreement on the Job and Skills Matching Facility (DAEC) set up each year by PSA. This DAEC is part of the conventional collective break plan that provides for approximately 1,300 outgoing departures.
The people concerned, mainly those assigned to the support functions, will benefit from reclassification leave, support for the creation of their company or the professional transition passport. This scheme, foreseen for fifty employees, gives the possibility of receiving a training of reconversion of long duration of three hundred hours at least. The first start should be effective from February 1st.
In addition to these collective breaks, there are 900 senior leaves, allowing employees at the end of their career to leave three to five years earlier with their retirement at full rate. Most of these senior holidays concern the tertiary pole of Poissy (130 employees), the site of Sochaux / Belchamp (125), Mulhouse (100) and Vélizy (92).
In total, 2,200 employees will leave PSA this year.
1,300 hirings planned in parallel
PSA announces a balanced balance between departures and recruitment since 1,300 people will be hired this year on permanent contracts, including 400 in production. “We do not know at the moment where these 400 employees will be located, and we hope that the vast majority will be on those who employ the most temporary workers, Poissy and Sochaux.” But we did not get guarantees, “explains Franck Xavier Don, CFDT PSA Group representative.
The distribution of the 900 other hirings planned has not yet been disclosed. “Given the principle of volunteering that governs all mobility, especially within the framework of the DAEC, objectives can not be divided strictly by site or direction,” says the CFDT.
50% of junior job creations should be filled by former trainees or alternates of the group. At the same time, PSA will host at least 2,000 or 2,500 youth jobs. With a view to developing its business lines, the group plans 6,000 internal mobility and over 1,000 internal redeployment courses.
