There is "no question of letting Lannion die slowly," said Minister for Industry Agnès Pannier-Runacher on Monday when Nokia plans to cut 400 jobs there. "I dispute this social plan of Nokia", also affirmed on CNews the minister who is expected on the site of Lannion (Côtes d'Armor) this Monday afternoon.
"I do not arrive with promises that will not be kept", qualified the minister, who added to have "a fierce desire to question this social plan that I cannot explain to myself". "I do not understand how Nokia can make a social plan today when they are positioned in telecoms equipment and 5G and cybersecurity which are markets of the future, and that Lannion is bringing together R&D forces in these two areas, ”detailed the Minister.
"People who do not have a vision for the company"
Nokia plans 1,233 job cuts in France, including more than half of the 772 jobs at the Lannion site, which, according to the unions, will lead inexorably to its closure. “Nokia today does not have a boss, we must have an interlocutor who has a strategic purpose, not people who have no vision for the company, no vision for Nokia's industrial footprint in France ”, accused Agnès Pannier-Runacher.
