“Central to the Halewood manufacturing strategy, we are moving from a three-shift to a “two-plus” shift pattern from April 2020.”

Around 4,5000 people work at the Halewood factory, one of three JLR car factories in Britain, with roughly 500 jobs affected by Wednesday’s announcement.

Horrible news and typically full of BS
They make the two cars desribed in this quote

a JLR spokeswoman claimed that the decision to restructure shift patterns at the Halewood plant would deliver “significant operating efficiencies at the plant, while enabling us to meet the growing customer demand for our new Range Rover Evoque and Land Rover Discovery Sport”.

SO... growing demand for a range means you need less people building it? riiight.. you really mean you're gonna make it somewhere else.

yup.... I agree with every ounce of my soul.

The Tata boys want these UK factories closed and just a few UK offices to stand to show "Britishness" for the brand.

“We have confirmed that Solihull and Castle Bromwich will make some minor changes to their production schedules to reflect fluctuating demand globally, whilst still meeting customer needs.”
