Honda’s team: Honda recently shared news about letting go of around 900 contract workers in China due to a drop in production. The company explained that this is happening because more people are switching to electric cars, especially in China, which is the world’s biggest car market.
These contract workers were hired through agencies for Honda’s partnership with China’s Guangzhou Automobile Group.
The reduction in the workforce represents about 7% of the total employees in the joint venture, which is around 13,000 people. However, Honda didn’t specify which car models would be affected by this production cut. More info about Honda’s team in China recently let go of 900 contract workers.
