Venezuela’s government has ordered Mitsubishi Motors Corp to reopen its shuttered car assembly plant.
The government pronouncement is an apparent about-turn on a ‘hands off’ stance that the government had recently adopted.
Venezuela’s labour ministry instructed the company to “restart productive activities” at its plant in the eastern city of Barcelona.
MMC Automotriz, a subsidiary of Mitsubishi, shuttered the eastern Venezuela plant on Monday, citing “high level of absenteeism, disobedience, aggression and lawlessness of some of the workers.”
The plant also assembles Hyundai cars.
