FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Car maker Toyota is satisfied with the way it handled the axing of 350 jobs at its Altona plant in Melbourne.
Amid criticism from unions and workers made redundant on Monday, a senior company executive said it was an unfortunate situation but one forced on it by the high value of the Australian dollar and falling exports.
Senior executive director of sales and marketing, Matthew Callachor, said Toyota had tried to show the “utmost respect” to those who had lost their jobs.
“We had a selection of criteria for each of the 350 that were actually chosen,” Mr Callachor told reporters in Adelaide on Tuesday.
“We don’t believe that there is anything we would have done differently at this juncture.
“We had consultation with the unions right through the process. We believe we have done everything in accordance with the plans in terms of trying to consult and work with people.
“Obviously it’s always regrettable to let people go, so I don’t minimise that part of it at all.”
Mr Callachor said Toyota did not expect to make further cuts to its workforce though it was impossible for the company to give guarantees.
He said current numbers had been planned around projected local and international demand going forward.
After announcing its plans earlier this year Toyota began the redundancies on Monday morning.
Most of the workers were unwillingly retrenched and 80 per cent of them plan to appeal their redundancies at Fair Work Australia, the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union said.
The union branded Toyota’s tactics of calling in security guards and escorting workers off site to sack them as heavy-handed and disgusting.
The company ferried workers in mini-vans across the road to a reception centre where they were handed a folder with the criteria for their dismissal and told they had lost their jobs.
Mr Callachor said everything the company had done was in line with the processes that had been set down.
“We have tried to show the utmost respect to the people involved,” he said.
