British American Tobacco (BAT) Switzerland does not finally abandon any presence in Boncourt (JU). The tobacco company maintains its warehouse and shipping department there, with around 15 jobs. The head office also remains established in the canton of Jura.
The fifteen jobs saved can be compared to the 220 lost when the site’s closure was confirmed in December. The information, announced Thursday, was welcomed by the Jura government. The agreement includes the continuation of collaborations with the Fondation Les Castors, which takes care of people with disabilities, and its six employees.
The management of BAT and the Jura Government began discussions as soon as the announcement of the opening of the consultation procedure at the end of October 2022, recalls the press release. Discussions aimed at maintaining activity at Boncourt also continued during the first half of this year.
The announcement should make it possible to preserve significant tax revenue, rejoices the Jura government. Their extent is not specified.
