Not only are they sacked but they're told they're no good as well, charming.

Toyota sacks hundreds in Altona clean-out
Extra security was called to Toyota's plant at Altona west of Melbourne today as the company began sacking 350 of what it says are its worst-performing workers.

According to my comrades at the ABC the extra security was requested by the union which had also agreed to the criteria for the redundancies i.e absenteeism, skills etc. With a 100 week payout I think Toyota has to be applauded,2 years pay for non performers.Not only are they sacked but they're told they're no good as well, charming.

I think we should sack their cars because they just aren't good enough.

but folks we are heading into tough times.
For a moment, put yourself in the shoes of a Toyota worker who is suddenly 'put on his toes' due to several of his colleagus being retrenched - exactly how are YOU going to work better to become more efficient? Overtime??? What a joke.So they might work better and production may stay the same with less workers.
100s of them in Adelaide.
Many many many small businesses go to the wall every month
Way way more than 350 people lose their job.
What about them?
Things aren't good in Vic, SA or Tas that's for sure. The latter two are in recession already, and Vic doesn't look too great either.Doesnt make this any less tragic, Australia is looking down the barrel of a recession.

Business is business though and I do accept that sometimes things like this are necessary. That said, the means by which Toyota has gone about it brings back memories of a few horror mass sackings in the 90's and it's a pretty rotten way of doing business.
No need to wait, sinner. Our esteemed prime minister has apparently already declared that the government (taxpayer) will be there for the Toyota sacked workers.I now eagerly await an announcement from AusGov that taxpayers are gonna give Toyota another $XXX million dollars.
Exactly. Why is there apparently something special about car making that obliges the taxpayer to subsidise it?100s of them in Adelaide.

Many still haven't found work yet
Many have.
The associated trades supplying them will be next.
