Tata Motors-owned Jaguar Land Rover has announced plans to axe 400 more jobs in view of the current global economic downturn.
"The company was considering axing between 300 and 400 manufacturing jobs by the end of January," JLR spokesman Mark Foster said.
The plans have been announced to the company's 16,000-strong workforce that is currently facing short-time working and prolonged plant shutdowns. The 400 redundancies are on top of the 198 job losses JLR recently announced as part of its 'annual efficiency drive.'
The company has asked for volunteers for redundancy among manufacturing workers at its three vehicle assembly sites in Castle Bromwich in Birmingham, Lode Lane in Solihull and Halewood on Merseyside.
