Bloomberg said that L’Echo, citing the company and trade unions, reported that ArcelorMittal may eliminate as many as 400 jobs at its Liege plants after unions refused to accept planned cutbacks

L’Echo said that ArcelorMittal told unions that it is starting an employment commission to cut staff


The newspaper cited Mr Bernard Dehut, the head of ArcelorMittal’s Liege unit, as saying the unions were denying economic realities by rejecting an earlier social plan that would have cut 86 jobs.
