Compagnie des Machines Bull SA’s central labour-management committee was scheduled to meet yesterday with the company’s new president, Jean-Marie Descarpentries, to discuss the company’s strategy and employment perspectives: union representatives want to know more about the proposed $1,460m injection of state funds, the group’s industrial policy and about the markets it would like to develop; a board of directors meeting was also set for yesterday to fix a date for an extraordinary general meeting to ratify the recapitalisation plan.
