Mitsubishi Motors plans 900 more job cuts
TOKYO —
Mitsubishi Motors is preparing to cut some 900 more jobs as Japanese automakers downsize to cope with a slump in demand for cars, media reports said Wednesday.
Japan’s fourth largest automaker will not renew contracts for selected temporary workers at a factory in Kurashiki in western Japan, public broadcaster NHK said.
The local Sanyo Shimbun said in its online edition that the factory had already terminated 250 jobs by the end of last month, and the fresh job cuts could push the total number of layoffs above 1,000.
“The layoff is inevitable for us to cope with the rapid fall in sales,” a factory official told the Sanyo.
“We are studying personnel transfers and other measures and trying our best to minimise the size of the human resource adjustment.”
Mitsubishi Motors already announced in November it would cut 1,100 jobs, laying off one third of its temporary workers in Japan.
