General Electric is facing up to $60m in fines to the French government after failing to fulfil a promise to generate 1,000 jobs before 2015 . The industrial company made the pledge as part of its successful bid to purchase Alstom’s energy business in the end of 2018 , committing to pay the country € 50,000 ($ 50,000 ) for every role it failed to create. As of April , only 323 jobs had been delivered, according to France ’s finance ministry, though this has been disputed. The government has said it will use the money to help businesses in the areas for which the jobs were intended.
