Description

Volkswagen's Czech unit Škoda Auto plans to cut 2,440 jobs in 2010 due to the slowdown in customer orders as the car scrappage incentive scheme in Germany is coming soon to an end. The job cuts will affect temporary agency workers. The company has three manufacturing plants (Mladá Boleslav-headquarters, Kvasiny, Vrchlabí) and employs 24,790 workers.
