Faurecia is to immediately start negotiations with its Works Council on PSA Peugeot Citroen’s restructuring plan that is looking to axe up to 8,000 jobs.

A statement sent to just-auto by Faurecia in Paris notes: “The Court of Appeal, in its ruling of 28 January, considers FII must put into place an information/consultation procedure with its Works Council on the eventual consequences, for itself, of PSA’s restructuring plan, before implementing the reorganisation.
“As a result, Faurecia Interieur Industrie will start this consultation immediately.”
PSA says it “takes note” of the Court’s judgement, but that: “The information/consultation process concerning PSA’s restructuring is not therefore suspended, let alone cancelled.”
PSA has a 57.4% stake in Faurecia.
