Early yesterday the word was out that Ford was planning to cut around 500 jobs from their Victorian operations because demand for their big-car products was down. By late yesterday afternoon it was Holden’s turn to announce reductions that will impact on over 3,000 works in South Australia.
It appears that Holden may not be cutting any actual positions but their plans will reduce the amount of take-home pay for those affected workers for the plant will be closed for an entire week in November and an extra two weeks over Christmas.
Now It’s Holden’s Turn to Cut Production
