— Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) today asked Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) to take in workers from its Okazaki plant. Both companies commenced negotiations today.
MMC has decided to bring forward the closure of vehicle production at its Okazaki plant as part of its revitalization plan and will relocate some 1,600 workers by the end of next year.
The talks with TMC were started as MMC intends to introduce potential local employers to workers who wish to look for a new job rather than relocate. The personnel departments at both companies are now negotiating details and aim to finalize plans by the end of this month.
MMC also asked TMC to consider the possibility of doing business with MMC suppliers.
