Toyota Motor Corp. on Tuesday told 200 temporary workers at its full-size truck plant they will be laid off this summer.
The company will also slow production at its Tundra plant, scheduling 14 days between now and October when no trucks will roll off the assembly lines. Workers will be allowed to take vacation, days without pay or work at the plant on non-manufacturing duties those days as they choose, said Toyota spokesman Mike Goss.
The temporary workers were hired at the plant with hopes of becoming permanent employees as other workers left, but they will instead be returned to the agency that helped hire them, Goss said.
