Carrefour, number two behind US retail giant Wal-Mart, announced on Tuesday that 1,672 jobs would go and 21 loss-making stores close under restructuring plans. It also intends to freeze salaries for its remaining staff.
A strike over job cuts forced the closure on Wednesday of one third of the group's Belgian hypermarkets and a quarter of its smaller supermarkets. Some franchised stores will not be targeted by the industrial action.
