>PARIS, Nov 20, 2008 (AFP) - French carmaker PSA Peugeot Citroen announced plans Thursday to slash 2,700 jobs as the automobile sector struggled with the global economic crisis.

The job cuts could affect assembly-line workers, managers and office staff in all of the firm's plants, a statement from the car company said.

An additional 900 workers from the Rennes factory in western France will be relocated to other Peugeot Citroen sites under a plan to be presented to a works committee on December 2, it added.
