The German Bosch company located in Mondeville, which is specialized in the manufacture of parts has announced that it will close its doors in June 2026, to the dismay and anger of workers and trade unions alike. Almost 400 workers are made redundant. 50% of them will have to take early retirement, whilst the other half will have to find a new job. They have gone on strike to protest against the conditions of their departure and deteriorating relations between management and workers.
