In terms of arrivals, PSA has confirmed that it wants to hire more than 1,300 permanent employees and to welcome at least 2,000 apprentices, in addition to the more than 6,000 internal mobilities planned.

The establishment of the RCC project, the collective conventional break

“R & D (the research and development sector) in the Paris region will be very affected” with 719 early departures, senior holidays and RCC combined, noted Jean-Pierre Mercier, of the CGT union, in reference to Carrières-sous-Poissy, Poissy ( tertiary), La Garenne-Colombes and Vélizy. The agreement signed Friday provides an additional premium equivalent to 4 months of gross salary for candidates departing in the Paris region.
