Nestlé eyes sales jobs cuts in France
According to trade union CFDT Agri-Agro, Nestlé is looking to axe 148 jobs as part of moves to “drastically reduce” its sales force in the country.
Nestlé is planning to cut almost 150 jobs in France and outsource the marketing of a clutch of brands, a trade union has said.
According to trade union CFDT Agri-Agro, Nestlé is looking to axe 148 jobs as part of moves to “drastically reduce” its sales force in the country.
The world’s largest food maker, meanwhile, wants to contract out the marketing in France of Nestlé cereals, Maggi and Nesquik, the union said.
The CFDT argued Nestlé’s sale in July of its baby-food assets in France “serves as a pretext” to make the changes.
In a statement, Nestlé’s subsidiary in France declined to comment directly on job cuts or on the number of posts that could be eliminated but said talks are taking place.
“A dialogue is currently ongoing with the unions as part of an information-consultation process, for which a decision is expected to be made by the end of the year. At this stage of the process, it is only a project, and priority is given to the unions,” a statement from Nestlé France said.
The CFDT said a meeting this week of staff representatives had “denounced” the plan.
“This model, presented as a ‘growth project’ by management, is, in fact, very clearly designed to meet the profitability imperatives imposed by the group,” the union said.
