Agreement within the framework of the implementation of a job protection plan

Discussions on the implementation of a job protection plan at Dupont Teijin Films S.A. have finally resulted in an agreement.

Thanks to the strong reaction and immediate commitment of the OGBL and LCGB, as well as considerable support from representatives of the Ministries of Labor and the Economy, a 6-month job protection plan (plan de maintien dans l’emploi – PME) was signed for the 160 threatened employees.

The PME agreement provides for all the various measures and legal provisions necessary to maintain employment, including temporary loans of manpower, retirement and early retirement schemes, training and outplacement.

In addition, a monitoring committee has been set up whose main task will be to strictly monitor the progress and application of the measures in strict compliance with the agreed agreements, and to do everything in its power to find a solution for every employee whose job is to be eliminated.

Despite the serious and gloomy situation, this agreement confirms that the unions, with the strong support of the Ministries of the Economy and Labor, have succeeded in upholding the country’s model of social dialogue!
