Peugeot S.A. signed an agreement with the CGT union to end the workers' strike that began on 16 January 2013 at the Aulnay car plant. The strike action involved roughly 130 of the 2,500 people employed at the site. The agreement follows an earlier agreement signed by five of the six labour unions, that is CFDT, CFTC, CFE/CGC, FO and GSEA, on the employee support measures set out in the Group's industrial reorganisation plan. Among the key provisions of the agreement are the following: A return to work for all employees. An end to all challenges to the redundancy plan raised by the CGT and the employees concerned. On this point, the CGT has agreed to drop the appeal lodged against the Group's restructuring plan. By end-May, 130 strike participants will benefit from outplacement assistance measures provided under the plan. The company will not compensate employees for days spent on strike. This rule applies to the strike's full duration, that is more than 17 weeks. The agreement sets the strike end date as end of the evening 17 May 2013.

PSA Peugeot Citroen has received approval from a French court to lay off 11,200 workers and close a plant near the company's headquarters in Paris. The company's restructuring plan faced opposition from two unions. It initially announced the plan in July 2012, which required the termination of 8,000 jobs and the closure of the company's Aulnay plant on the outskirts of Paris, but PSA has announced its intention to cut several thousand more jobs since then.

Peugeot S.A. appointed Yves Bonnefont as deputy CEO of Citroen, assisting Frederic Banzet, CEO of PSA Peugeot Citroen's Citroen brand. Yves Bonnefont will notably be in charge of coordinating the DS line. He will focus in particular on the DS launch in China, where the DS line is a distinct brand with its own distribution network. He will also be responsible for the operational rollout of the Brand promise as established and presented in early 2013. The Citroen brand DS and Strategy teams will report to him. He will maintain his function as Group Strategy director.
