It is a human tide that is expected on Saturday in Lannion (Côtes-d'Armor) with "several thousand people" who will march in defense of the Nokia site, we learned this Thursday from the intersyndicale . “Our fight is the withdrawal from the social plan. Despite the statements of Nokia executives, it is clearly the survival of the site that is at stake, "said Bernard Trémulot, CFDT central delegate.
According to him, "it is easy to make an Excel table in Helsinki", but "it does not work like that". Behind each job loss in Lannion, there are "human tragedies" when these positions are in fact "relocated" to countries like India, Romania or Canada.
The fourth social plan on the Lannion site since 2016
According to the intersyndicale, June 22 sounded like "a blow of mass" with the announcement of the project of restructuring in France and its 1,233 redundancies, including 402 in this Breton city of 20,000 inhabitants.
