Adjustment project at Publications Metro France

The social partners of Metronews were assembled today by the management to be informed of a company reorganisation project.

To address the crisis in the advertising market, one that has impacted Metronews for several years and on a lasting basis, the company is obliged to envision a project to adjust its organisation structure.

The project would involve terminating circulation of the print version of Metronews and lead to the elimination of 60 jobs. The emphasis will be on internal redeployment within the Group so as to limit the number of redundancies.

The TF1 group will maintain the digital business with a view to developing the positions already established by the brand, thereby capitalising on the investments made in this field.

A Works Council meeting will be held on Tuesday May 26, 2015. The support plan will be negotiated with the social partners in the coming weeks.
