Nokia announces nearly 600 job cuts in France BMW readies mass production of e-cars, 12 models by 2025

Finnish telecoms giant Nokia said today it planned to cut around 600 jobs in France as it seeks to make cost-savings and refocus its loss-making businesses. The group said it planned to reduce its headcount in France by 597, a little over 10 per cent of its total workforce in the country, with French trade unions calling the move "unacceptable." Nokia, which no longer makes handsets having sold that business to Microsoft, bought FrenchAmerican telecoms equipment maker Alcatel-Lucent in 2015 in a deal that was expected to lead to savings.
