Toyota Production Slows Despite Increase In Scrappage
Even though the Government has extended the scrappage scheme staff at Toyota in Burnaston, Derbyshire are returning to a shorter working week, reports thisisbusiness-eastmidlands.co.uk.
Increased orders meant that Toyota staff returned to working full time for a while but they have again returned to a shorter working week. This will be in place until the end of March next year.
Toyota staff must be thankful however because despite the downturn in car sales no one has yet been made redundant.
