Lack of work !

Land Rover staff move to Jaguar
Nearly 300 workers at Land Rover in the West Midlands have been moved to the nearby Jaguar factory because of a lack of work, unions have said.

The staff have agreed to move from the Solihull factory to the Jaguar plant in Castle Bromwich where they have been guaranteed two years work.

Solihull plant convenor Bob Nason said they would work on the Jaguar XF model.

A spokeswoman for Land Rover said it was just "good business" practice and the moves were voluntary.

'Production fluctuates'

The brands were recently bought from Ford by Indian motor giant Tata for £1.7bn.

Mr Nason said the 284 staff would have had very little work to do if they had remained at Solihull.

The Land Rover spokeswoman said: "It's part of the deal that we have and they were all voluntary moves.

"Production fluctuates between the two brands and this is a good business way of dealing with those changes." Brit across the Pond

on the contrary - from my understanding in case of the RRS demand still out strips the supply and its obviously not easy to just ramp production on a car that is already running over the predicted volumes anyway. However, in case of the other vehicles, LR are under production capacity (and pretty much always have been) so this is actually a good move imho - keep the work force productive rather than getting rid.

I may be wrong however
