Holden axes 170 jobs from its Elizabeth manufacturing plant in South Australia

Workers who apply for redundancy will finish up on December 14

170名的holden员工，确定在圣诞节之前要失去工作。
因为holden汽车销量下降，裁员变成不得不做的事情，虽然holden高层发言确认汽车生产将延至2022年，但是未来的事情，谁也说不准。

The cuts follow the loss of 100 jobs in February and industry analysts warn more cutbacks are likely over the next five years as Holden scales back production because of falling demand.

Workers who apply for redundancy will finish work on December 14, when the factory closes for the summer break, but redundant workers will be paid through the holiday period.

The latest cuts, about 8 per cent of the workforce, come as Holden faces its worst sales period in 19 years and despite a $275 million government grant.

They will bring the number of workers to just under 2100.

Holden says it is not planning "any further redundancies any time soon".
"However, it's critical to the long-term health of Holden that we're able to be responsive to the market and to align production with demand," spokesman Craig Cheetham said.

"The responsible thing to do is to take action to make sure we have viable manufacturing operations in Australia, which is something we intend to do for the next decade."

South Australian Manufacturing Minister Tom Koutsantonis played down fears the Elizabeth plant could shut down completely.

He described the 170 job losses as a "hiccup' because Holden was not selling as many vehicles.

看得人郁闷啊！虽然我不是特喜欢HOLDEN，但我觉得这个世界应该是多姿多彩的。少了谁都显得孤独，单调

现在还在澳洲设厂生产的仅剩三家----FORD，TOYOTA，HOLDEN

以上三家都是在减产或是裁员或是关厂之间挣扎，昂贵的人工和管销费用让他们无力与进口车竞争，虽然整体来说

澳洲较10年前销售更多数量的新车，但是竞争也更为激烈，环境也更为严苛。

10年前的车价与今日相比，几乎是一样的，可是成本已经不知上升了多少？对澳洲本土车厂来说，好时光已经过去了。

之前曾经生产过的有-------
Australian Motor Industries
British Leyland
Chrysler Australia
Mitsubishi Motors Australia
Nissan Australia
Rootes Australia
Volkswagen Australia

不过，机遇与挑战并行。  有失去就会有得到。 还是要充实自己的技术实力呀。

兔死狐悲。我也是在制造业，每每想到我等的工资也是令澳大利亚制造业缺乏竞争力的重要原因，就觉得心里忐忑
