Literary phenomenon – 26 million books sold worldwide-, future successful film, Hunger Games has already rewritten the way the studios are promoting their films. The film should make the best start to the year in the U.S. and pocket this week between 82 million and $ 140 million. What hair briskly to post another fad adolescents film of the moment, Twilight. With a budget of $ 45 million, a team of 21 persons (where an envelope of 100 million and 100 people are the norm), the Canadian studio has fueled a fierce curiosity about the saga of Suzanne Collins, delicate yet for sale : Hunger Games follows 24 teenagers killing each other in an arena at game shows, in a post-apocalyptic America. Even before the triumph of Hunger Games, Hollywood hails a clever marketing plan.

First, the studio has provided a solid foundation. For a faithful adaptation, it instructed the novelist Suzanne Collins to write itself a preliminary scenario. The project budget was generous: $ 80 million, almost three times more than the first Twilight. Distribution also. Upon completion, Gary Ross (Big, Pleasantville), four time Oscar nominee, winning the bet, the end of 2010 bad credit payday advance. For the role of the heroine, Katniss, Lionsgate hesitates between rising stars, including Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit) and Jennifer Lawrence (X-Men The beginning, Winter's Bone), cited at the Oscars 2011. Lawrence is finally chosen. These primary choice made, Lionsgate takes out his slow campaign plank on which he since 2009 and must make the fever Hunger Games for a year.

Fake websites, fake ads

First axis: social networks. A chronology established by matrketing services, which states hour by hour, platform by platform exclusives to reveal. In March 2011, the film's Facebook page distills the names of players who embody the tributes of the 12 districts of Panem. As in the book, they are advertised in pairs. Very popular, this page has more than 3 million subscribers. French equivalent totals, him 50,000 followers.

Swiss citizens have said "no" referendum, the establishment of "six weeks of vacation for all", or fifteen days of paid vacation and more. The initiative launched by the unions was rejected by 67% of voters. The text called for the passage of six weeks compulsory leave to a minimum, while the Federal Constitution allows four since 1984.

The result was not surprising: the economic and the Parliament had voted against. The initiators of the argument was based on the deterioration of working conditions. "But the economic calendar was not favorable and the opponents have played on fear," responded Josiane Aubert, Vice President of Swiss Labour, the group behind the referendum.  

"More than the French? Unthinkable! "

In the opposing camp, the president of the Vaud Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Bernard Rüeger, said he was "proud that the Swiss citizen is aware that work causes less poverty and deindustrialization."

"We would have been world champions holiday, more than the French, is to say …" jokes at Swiss Television Cristina Gaggini, Director of Economics Swiss Romande, an employers' association. The Helvetians refuse more vacation "because deep down, deep in their memory, are still the idea that the holidays are the invention of a lazy fortunate few," says the newspaper Le Temps.

Although they are about to multiply the launch of new models at Geneva Motor Show, most manufacturers are concerned about a deterioration in their situation in Europe, where they lost money last year.

Weakened by the threat of recession, the European market is expected to decline for the fifth consecutive year, 3 to 5%, according to Euler Hermes. France is particularly affected, with a decline of 20% on the first two months of the year. Result, the price war with fierce brands to maintain their market share should continue. And the problem of excess production capacity, estimated at 20% in Europe, become more acute than ever. "These challenging conditions will persist in 2012, causing continued pressure on revenue and profitability for manufacturers," according to Fitch

Particularly pessimistic about market developments, the U.S. Ford expects to lose between 500 and 600 million this year in Europe, after recording a deficit of $ 190 million last quarter.

Faced with this crisis, all parties are seeking ways to reduce costs. Two of the weakest manufacturers in Europe, PSA Peugeot Citroen and General Motors have announced a strategic alliance, sealed by a stake of 7% of the American stake in French. The two groups hope to save 1.5 billion euros each year from 2016, sharing purchases, but also components, modules and vehicle platforms.

French is particularly desperate. Its automotive division, whose sales depend to 58% of Europe, has lost 500 million euros in the second half of 2011 and the group has burned 1.6 billion euros in cash in 2011. As for GM, whose European operations are supported by the German brand Opel, its losses totaled $ 600 million in the fourth quarter. A result that American "unacceptable."

Capacity reduction

In the short term, this alliance does not however solve the problems of both groups, particularly the low utilization of their production. General Motors, which has already closed the site of Opel Antwerp, suggested that capacity reductions were planned for "adjust to demand." Until 2014, the management is committed not to close the factory. But both sites are threatened, according to U.S. media, that of Bochum in Germany and Ellesmere Port in Britain. For its part, PSA casts doubt on the survival of the French site of Aulnay-sous-Bois after 2014. For now, the French multiplies the week of partial unemployment in France to reduce inventory and increase to the four-day week in May in its Czech plant of small cars.

In general, "continued weakness" in demand in Europe may lead other "draconian reactions" that PSA-GM alliance, as comparisons between manufacturers, restructuring or closing plants, said Fitch. Side partnership, Renault uses its alliance with Nissan and its strategic relationship with Mercedes to reduce development costs. As for Italy's Fiat, he put on his marriage with Chrysler to produce also economies of scale.

To limit the damage, however, builders rely on new products exhibited in Geneva. Ford will present his B-Max minivan, and its Fiat 500 L, a larger version of the famous city. PSA Peugeot will launch its 208 on which he plays big. For its part, Renault expects much of its low cost Lodgy minivan, sold in April from 10,000 euros. The French will also unveil its electric car Zoe, scheduled for October. It is nevertheless true that growth in car sales, which could reach 4% worldwide this year, will come again in emerging countries.

Six applications studied, including two in the presence of the insured. As now regularly in each region, a commission composed of doctors and administration members met Thursday at Rennes, to review applications for "retirement hardship" from persons with a disability rating of 10 professional and 20% following an accident. The examination of each case lasted five to ten minutes.

First case: a nurse, since a car accident in 1993, has a disability rating of 12%. "The changes in schedules and staggered hours are hard to live, pleaded Mrs. C. before the six members of the commission. With the broken pelvis and legs that I had, car travel and care that I practice with dependents are painful. "The question is whether the sequelae to the accident could have been caused by an occupational disease caused through exposure for seventeen years to occupational hazards (heavy lifting, alternating schedules, handling chemicals, extreme temperatures …). "The answer is yes," has in this case ruled that the commission has approved the retirement at 60 years of Mrs. C.

Sleeping pills to sleep

"This is the absurdity of the law, recognizes a member. Two employees who had the same exposure to the same risks will not have the same rights as that one had an accident and the other not. "Besides, to be validated, the effects must be included a "list" of occupational diseases published by decree. A list that does not include … including amputation of fingers and led to "reject administratively" number of requests. "If the finger got caught, it's happening is in the list," quips a medical officer. "It would sew the finger," says Gerard Riviere, President FO Board of CNAV.

Another issue: a maintenance worker in a factory producing poultry meat that has had two accidents left him with "sequels in the left shoulder with residual pain" and a disability rating of 18%. "The hardest work is the 3 × 8, explained MD I started this morning at 4:00 am and afternoon next week. I take sleeping pills to sleep and am embarrassed when I have to intervene in height. "In his case, he also indicated to be exposed to chemical agents. "He has been confronted with all its risks, has recognized a member of the Committee in view of his career profile. He complains primarily of night work but it's exposure to all other risk factors that calls for him. "This opinion.
