Nissan to Offer Severance Packages to Older U.S. Workers

Nissan Motor is offering voluntary separation packages to many of its older U.S. workers as it tries to restructure amid flagging sales, reports the Associated Press . The offers are being made to factory and white-collar employees older than 52. "To adapt to current business needs and improve efficiencies, Nissan will offer voluntary separation packages to eligible U.S.-based employees," stated the automaker. The offers will be in the United States only, according to Nissan spokesperson Lloryn Love-Carter. She added that eligible workers will be notified by Jan. 31 and would leave later this year — but not all applications will be approved.
