Paul Hudson faces down French unions in fight to restructure Sanofi

Sanofi CEO Paul Hudson is facing a familiar adversary in his efforts to cut up to 1,680 jobs from the French pharma giant: French unions.

Around 200 union members staged a one-day strike Tuesday at Sanofi’s main Covid-19 vaccine plant in Marcy-l’Étoile to protest the cuts, The Associated Press reported, with other members joining at other facilities across the country.
