Trade Union’s experience
since more than 55 years
in the automotive sector
in the period of the 2008/2009 crises
These 2 devices have been of interest for the empoyed
workers over 55 years or because of being accompanied by
restructuring plans or in case of real loss of the work
place (loss of confidence in the company, uncertainties
about the results of the crisis and the future of the pensions).
But before a real end of the crises
the social plans risk to be all implemented in 2010.
The French government tries to implementation of
these devices by taxing the leave of over 55 workers.
