On 3 and 4 December, Michelin management met with representatives from the unions CFDT (French Democratic Confederation of Labour), CFE-CGC (CEC European Managers), FO (Workers’ Force), and SUD (Solidarity Union) – collectively known as the ‘Intersyndicale’ – to negotiate the procedural framework for the proposed closure of its Vannes and Cholet tyre plants in France. As the CFDT reports, these discussions culminated in a draft agreement outlining key points for structuring the negotiations. This agreement, adds the union, should also ensure “employee support” throughout the process.
