Not unexpectedly, it appears Nissan is getting ready to start slimming down its operations in the US and ready for its merger talks with Honda. According to a report from Yomiuri Shimbun Online, around 2,000 Nissan factory workers could be hunting for new jobs by the end of the year. The news isn't unexpected as Nissan pledged in November 2024 to cut 9,000 jobs worldwide, with 70 percent of those in its production operations. Up to 20 percent of Nissan's global production could be cut along with the people.
