Toyota, Honda to cut Japan temp jobs TOKYO -- Toyota Motor Corp., Japan's biggest carmaker, will cut its domestic temporary workforce by 50 percent as vehicle demand slumps globally. Toyota will cut the number of temporary workers to 3,000 from 6,000 by the end of March, spokesman Paul Nolasco said Friday in a phone interview. The automaker follows Mazda Motor Corp. and Isuzu Motors Ltd., which Thursday said they would slash a combined 2,700 temporary jobs in Japan in response to slowing sales. Honda Motor Co., Japan's second-largest carmaker, also said Friday it is cutting 270 temporary workers at its Saitama plant, where the carmaker is reducing output of Accord sedans by 40,000 units. Honda is also cutting production in the U.K. of Civic compacts and CR-V sport-utility vehicles by 21,000 units. |
