Automotive workers are struggling, but Nissan is growing, just not in Tennessee.
Posted on Mar 23, 2009
A Jackson, Mississippi newspaper reported that Nissan announced layoffs of 20,000 workers worldwide. Furthermore, Nissan discontinued production of the Titan pick-up truck in Franklin, Tennessee and two of its SUVs in Canton, Mississippi.
However, Nissan is seeing growth in the commercial-vehicle market and will spend $118 million to expand the Canton, Mississippi plant to keep up with their 8 percent growth in the sales of commercial vehicles oversees. Nissan's Vice President of Manufacturing in Canton reportedly stated that the expansion at the Canton plant is a major step for the company's growth in the commercial vehicle market. Mississippi governor Haley Barbour has stated that he will assist Nissan with the expansion and characterized the partnership between Nissan and the state of Mississippi as "great."
If you are a Tennessee Nissan employee odds are you may have either lost your job or may be losing it soon. Tennessee Nissan employees who have had prior workers’ compensation injuries or have pending workers’ compensation claims and who have lost their jobs may be entitled to addition workers’ compensation benefits.
