Description
Forvia, a French global automotive manufacturer and supplier, is cutting 72 out of 300 jobs at its Bains-sur-Oust factory (Ille-et-Vilaine) as part of a broader plan to reduce 10,000 positions across Europe until 2028 to enhance competitiveness.
Initially announced in February, the plan projected a reduction of 80 to 90 jobs at the site, with two-thirds of the cuts in manufacturing roles and the remaining third in administrative positions. The factory faced pressure of potential closure at the time. Following the announcement, voluntary departures reduced the number of layoffs to 72. After negotiations with trade unions, six jobs were preserved due to their critical roles. As a result, 66 employees will be let go on December 3rd.

The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
