Nissan moves to buyout Tennessee workers

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Nissan North America Inc. said Wednesday it will offer buyouts to about 6,000 employees at the company’s two Tennessee plants and eliminate a night shift at one plant because rising fuel prices and the economic downturn have slowed sales of trucks and sport utility vehicles.

About 775 employees at the two plants took a buyout offered last year. That package included a $45,000 lump sum payment and $500 for every year of service.

Um, I’d work for that $45,000 lump sum buyout. And that’s the worse “voluntary severance offer” — seems the current one’s even sweeter.
