Description
According to the CGT Commerce trade union, five Bricorama DIY outlets are threatened with closure in France as part of a redundancy plan to cut 100 jobs. The CGT Commerce union strongly objects to the weakness of the support measures proposed by management as part of this redundancy plan, compared with the measures granted in 2020 during a previous wave of closures when 13 shops were closed. One of the sites affected is Colombes (Haut-de-Seine), which employs 17 people.
