About
1,200 unionised workers at DaimlerChrysler’s Freightliner unit have agreed to
pay cuts of $2 an hour and other concessions as sales of the company’s heavy
trucks slow in North America, according to a report carried by Detroit News.
The report adds that non-unionised workers will also see pay cuts to the tune
of 5%.
Freightliner is coming under severe financial pressure as the US heavy-duty
truck market has turned down. The company is expected to post a loss of $1 billion
this year, according to industry analysts. Restructuring and plant closures
are expected to be announced by the company later this year.
