The Cotelle factory in Rillieux-la-Pape will close its doors in September 2024. 104 permanent employees and some temporary workers are fighting to avoid the closure.

“Cotelle is not a factory that is closing for bankruptcy,” says Christian Dupoizat, CGT representative on the Social and Economic Committee (CSE) “The pressure will gradually increase for families between now and September,” observes CGT delegate Jean Martins. The union sees the end of this “family capitalism”
