"The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund was created to help workers and companies who fall victim to globalisation and to enable workers to become employable again. However, in reality, all too often it is those who bring about unbridled competition between people, to swell profits, that apply.
Here, Renault and several subcontractors want to be supported, while the only aim of their job cuts is to increase their profits. More seriously, Renault – as the workers have told us – has used this mechanism to bring about early retirement. Accordingly, many workers approaching retirement have been busy learning how to hang wallpaper, do gardening or drive a motorbike or a boat.
Since the French Government has decided to increase the retirement age, a number of them are now faced with an unacceptable situation. They have given their health for their company and risk finding themselves with nothing, several months before being able to exercise their retirement rights.
While we are in favour of state aid being able to support industrial development and research, to boost jobs, we cannot support misuse of public funds."@en1
