MAN Truck & Bus will cut about 3,500 jobs as part of a reorganisation of the company. The company said the layoffs were agreed on with the General Works Council and with the IG Metall trade union. The job cuts will include permanent and temporary employees, as well as loaned workers. They will be implemented through partial-retirement arrangements and the offer of voluntary severance packages, or by offering employees the chance to move to other companies in the Volkswagen Group.
