Mazda Motor,Isuzu To Cut Temporary Workers In Japan By Year-End
Mazda said it won't renew contracts with 1,300 temporary staff at two of its domestic plants when the contracts expire at the end of the year. The Hiroshima-based car maker currently hires 1,800 temporary workers engaged in production.
Meanwhile Isuzu said that it will reduce all 1,400 temporary manufacturing staff in Japan by the end of the year.
The truck maker will terminate the contracts with "most" of these workers before they expire, an Isuzu spokeswoman said.
Last week, Nissan Motor Co. said it would cut 500 short-term jobs in Japan in 2009 as it reduces domestic auto production.
