BREST, FRANCE -- Roughly 300 employees at
Jabil Circuit's plant here went on strike last Wednesday to protest the site's possible closure, according to published reports.
As reported by
Ouest France, Jabil has indicated plans to close, sell or otherwise restructure the
plant. The paper reported the site’s revenues are 25% below expectations.
Jabil acquired the site and its then 700 employees from Alcatel in 2002.
