GamesIndustry.biz (registration required) follows up on recent rumors of plans for layoffs at Test Drive Unlimited 2 developer Eden Studios, saying 51 of the studio's 80 employees are facing the axe. Word is the French developer is holding a strike today to protest "Atari mismanagement," saying: "Restructuring plans have been following each others for 10 years at Atari. Each time the recovery project was beautiful and promising, and ended in a failure. We are sceptical about the proposed project." Here is their four-point agenda:

• Communicate and interact with the CEO, Jim Wilson, who has never introduced himself to his employees.
• Have a constructive negotiation on the terms of the redundancy plan, and not one-sided as is the case now.
• Be sure that an employee of Eden Games is compensated the same way as an employee of Atari.
• Have real visibility on the future of the studio after the restructuring, especially in giving us the financial records requested by our accountant.
