CTAG Opens Talks on Cutting Up to 150 Jobs, Plans 110-Day ERTE Potentially Covering Entire Workforce

Management cites a roughly 15% revenue shortfall tied to lost projects.

Overview

  • CTAG formally presented the plan to unions on Oct. 16–17, launching negotiations on a collective dismissal and a temporary suspension scheme.
  • The proposed ERTE would allow up to 110 working days of suspension and could apply to the full workforce.
  • The ERE targets up to 150 positions, about 15% of staff, with union representatives saying they will push to reduce that figure in talks.
  • CC OO and CIG challenged 23 earlier summer dismissals and sought labor‑inspection action, while also criticizing limited support from some founding partners.
  • CTAG says it seeks solutions through social dialogue to safeguard long‑term viability, a move that coincides with recent investments and occurs as Europe’s auto sector cuts tens of thousands of jobs, according to CLEPA.
