Vielä tietoa siitä, mitä Ranskan vähennykset itse asiassa koskevat, koska sitä ei Reutersin artikkelissa mainittu. Toisin sanoen lukujen perusteella heikossa hapessa(?) olevaan Radio Frequency Systemsiin ei kosketa kesäkuussa ilmoitetuilla väenvähennyksillä. Käännätin ranskasta artikkelin, jossa sanotaan mm. seuraavaa:
NOKIA FRANCE, VICTIM OF THE ECONOMIC CRISIS, WANTS TO CUT JOBS
Posted on 6/22/20 at 3:51 p.m.
The Finnish telecoms equipment manufacturer Nokia announced in a press release on Monday that it was cutting 1,233 jobs in France at its subsidiary Alcatel-Lucent, or a third of the workforce of this company in France.
The group plans to cut 402 positions in Lannion (Côtes-d’Armor) and 831 in Nozay (Essonne), specified Bernard Trémulot (CFDT) and Frédéric Aussedat (CFE-CGC), following a social committee and central economic (CSE). “It’s a disaster,” denounced Bernard Trémulot. “This will be the fourth collective redundancy plan since Nokia bought Alcatel-Lucent in early 2016,” said the inter-union CFDT, CFE-CGC, CGT and CFTC from Alcatel-Lucent.
A global reduction plan even before the coronavirus
The group provides for a voluntary departure plan and “reclassification solutions”, he said in his press release. The jobs eliminated will concern research and development (R&D) positions, as well as support functions, according to management and unions.
These job cuts are “part of a global cost reduction plan” launched at the end of 2018, says Nokia, which wants “to intensify its efforts to improve its competitiveness and guarantee its long-term performance”, "in a market context where the pressure on costs remains very important ”.
“The objective is to increase operational efficiency, improve productivity and gain agility in R & D, in order to strengthen the competitive position and guarantee the long-term performance of the group,” said Nokia. Three other French subsidiaries of Nokia, Radio Frequency Systems (RFS), Nokia Bell Labs France (NBLF) and Alcatel Submarine Networks (ASN), “remain outside the scope of this project,” adds management.
