Daimler Reverses Brazil Truck Job Cuts by Reducing Hours Instead
2015-09-01 15:11:13| Auto Dealers - Topix.net
Daimler AG reversed course on the 1,500 job cuts announced last week at its Brazilian truck-making division, saying it will scale back hours by 20% instead as demand shows no sign of improving. The agreement with local unions guarantees jobs until August 2016, and the Brazilian state will compensate employees for about half their lost pay, the Stuttgart, Germany-based company said in a statement Aug. 31. Workers at Daimler's factory in Sao Bernardo do Campo went on strike in response to the cuts originally proposed, which would have cost about 13% of the company's Brazilian workforce their jobs.
