Discussion is underway in France over possible job reductions at Nissan's European office, which currently employs around 560 people. The company is pursuing a global restructuring strategy that includes scaling back production and shrinking its workforce by 15%. French union representatives say the company will explore voluntary departures before any forced layoffs. Leadership aims to complete discussions by October, with more concrete plans expected the following month. The broader effort comes amid efforts to cut costs by $3.4 billion following declining sales.
