Of these, 400 jobs will be lost at the group’s Mini plant in Oxford, representing approximately 10% of the 4,000 workers on the site.
It also means that just under part of the 950 transitority that runs lately in Oxford will see his jobs disappear.
Meanwhile, 100 jobs will be lost at the BMW Hams Hall engine plant in Birmingham, where another 1,200 people are recently employed.
And 20 jobs will be created through BMW’s metals emergency plant in Swindon, which has recently employed about six hundred people.
Discounts apply to all transition personnel hired through a company called GI Group, which means they will be entitled to severance pay from BMW Group.
But BMW also plans to cut roles between its non-temporary staff at Oxford and Swindon with voluntary dismissal and early retirement among the features on the table, he says it’s too early to say how many roles he might have.
Currently, production paints in shifts, but the organization reduces the number of organizations starting in October due to the minimization in the number of cars to be produced.
It follows the movements of other automakers, who were badly affected when the country entered the lockout, forcing the factories to be temporarily closed.
Nissan, Toyota, BMW, Honda and Ford were the main brands that suspended production due to coronavirus.
As a result, McLaren revealed plans to cut a quarter in May, putting 1,200 jobs at risk.
But unrest was piling up for many automakers before the pandemic hit, with Ford 3,100 jobs threatened and Nissan cutting 12,500 jobs internationally last summer.
Bob Shankly, Director of Human Resources at Mini Plant Oxford, said: “The COVID-19 pandemic has had a very extensive effect on the visitor call and, like other automakers, our volume forecast for 2020 has had to be replaced accordingly.
“So we took the difficult resolution to adjust our painting schedules at Mini Plant Oxford from October.
“We have sought as many jobs as possible, while taking the necessary steps to ensure the stability of our business in this existing era of volatile and unpredictable market conditions.”
