VDL Nedcar cutting 2,000 employees today as BMW/MINI production there nears an end
VDL dismissed almost 2,000 employees from the Nedcar automotive factory in Born on Wednesday. With this move, production was temporarily brought to a halt. Workers were expected be notified per department, and not in one large group gathering. As BMW prepares to pull MINI production from the facility in the coming weeks, labor unions and employees accused VDL of using the situation to close the plant after 57 years.
