Peugeot citroen slash 8000 jobs paris france july 12 2012

Workers of French carmaker PSA Peugeot Citroen demonstrate in front of the factory in Aulnay-sous-Bois, outside Paris, on July 12, 2012, after the group announced it would slash 8,000 jobs. Unions slammed the announcement as a "declaration of war" and an "earthquake," with the hardline stance certain to add to the problems facing the new Socialist government as it deals with France's flagging economy.
