Meanwhile, a Visteon spokeswoman told the newspaper that the layoffs announced
yesterday were strictly for this week.

Automotive News says that Visteon has been issuing periodic temporary layoffs
since Ford, its largest customer and former parent company, announced first-quarter
production cutbacks in December. Ford has this week idled 12 assembly plants
in North America to reduce mounting dealer stocks.
