Workers and their unions in France will take action on Friday 5 December to demand greater certainty about their futures when their employers are taken over.



Thousands of security workers in France have been affected by company takeovers during 2008. These include the employees of security companies Derichebourg and Brinks who still have no guarantees as to whether they will be retained by the incoming employers, Securitas and ICTS.



French security unions took strike action in July 2008 demanding, amongst other things, that 100% of workers be retained when companies change ownership. The unions will continue to press this demand on 5 December.
