TOKYO (AP) - A news report says Toyota Motor Corp. is
considering cutting more than 1,000 full-time jobs in North America
and the United Kingdom to cope with faltering global demand.
Japan's top business daily, the Nikkei, reported Friday that
details of the job cuts will likely be finalized by the end of the
month. It cited an unnamed senior company official.
Toyota spokesman Yuta Kaga declined to confirm the report,
saying nothing had been decided.
Mike Goss, a spokesman for Toyota's North American manufacturing
operations, said Toyota is considering "additional steps" after
making several production adjustments in recent months, but no
decisions have been finalized.
Toyota operates a plant in Huntsville that manufactures V-8
engines.
