梅賽德斯-奔馳公司，未來(lái)3年內(nèi)，至少裁員1萬(wàn)人

Daimler said on Friday it will cut at least 10,000 jobs worldwide over the next three years, following others in the industry as they cut costs to invest in electric vehicles while grappling with weakening sales.

戴姆勒(Daimler)周五表示，未來(lái)三年將在全球范圍內(nèi)裁員至少1萬(wàn)人，此前該行業(yè)其它公司也在努力削減電動(dòng)汽車(chē)投資成本，同時(shí)努力應(yīng)對(duì)銷(xiāo)售疲弱的局面。

It marks the third announcement on cost cuts this week by a major German car company as automakers seek to fund huge investments into cleaner and self-driving technologies while demand in China, their biggest market, is falling and a trade war between Washington and Beijing is curbing economic growth.

這是德國(guó)這家大型汽車(chē)公司本周第三次宣布成本削減計(jì)劃。目前，汽車(chē)制造商正尋求為清潔能源和自動(dòng)駕駛技術(shù)的巨額投資提供資金，而它們最大的市場(chǎng)中國(guó)的需求正在下降，華盛頓和北京之間的貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)也在抑制經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)。

“The automotive industry is in the middle of the biggest transformation in its history,” Daimler said in a statement.

戴姆勒在一份聲明中表示:“汽車(chē)行業(yè)正處于其歷史上最大的轉(zhuǎn)型之中。”

Daimler, the owner of Mercedes-Benz, revealed the 3 percent cut in its workforce after reaching an agreement on its plans with labor unions.

梅塞德斯-奔馳的母公司戴姆勒公司在與工會(huì)就計(jì)劃達(dá)成一致后，透露將裁員3%。

They have agreed on a variety of measures to cut costs and jobs, including expanding part-time retirement and a severance program to be offered in Germany. The company is also cutting 10% of worldwide management positions.

他們就削減成本和裁員的一系列措施達(dá)成了一致，包括擴(kuò)大兼職退休計(jì)劃和在德國(guó)提供的離職補(bǔ)償計(jì)劃。該公司還削減了10%的全球管理職位。

Staff reductions would be in the low five-digits, or at least 10,000 people, according to Wilfried Porth, a board member in charge of human resources. The company employed 304,680 staff at the end of the third quarter.

據(jù)負(fù)責(zé)人力資源的董事會(huì)成員威爾弗里德·波思(Wilfried Porth)說(shuō)，裁員幅度將在五位數(shù)以下，至少為1萬(wàn)人。截至第三季度末，該公司共有員工304,680人。

Plans laid out by Daimler in November showed the company aimed to cut staff costs by around $1.5 billion by the end of 2022.

戴姆勒去年11月制定的計(jì)劃顯示，該公司計(jì)劃在2022年底前削減約15億美元的員工成本。

The announcement comes days after Volkswagen’s luxury car unit Audi said it would cut up to 9,500 jobs or one in ten staff by 2025, freeing up billions of euros to fund its shift toward electric vehicle production.

幾天前，大眾汽車(chē)(Volkswagen)旗下豪華車(chē)品牌奧迪(Audi)表示，到2025年，將裁減至多9,500個(gè)工作崗位，即十分之一的員工，從而騰出數(shù)十億歐元資金，用于向電動(dòng)汽車(chē)生產(chǎn)轉(zhuǎn)型。

汽車(chē)供應(yīng)商大陸和歐司朗也已宣布裁員和削減成本。

Daimler has repeatedly cut its profit outlook over recent months, partly to cover a regulatory crackdown on diesel emissions but also because of a slowing auto market.

近幾個(gè)月來(lái)，戴姆勒一再下調(diào)其利潤(rùn)預(yù)期，部分原因是為了應(yīng)對(duì)監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)對(duì)柴油排放的打擊，但也因?yàn)槠?chē)市場(chǎng)放緩。

Group operating profit will be “significantly lower” than a year ago, the company said last month.

該公司上月表示，集團(tuán)運(yùn)營(yíng)利潤(rùn)將“明顯低于”一年前。

Other measures to reduce staffing costs include offering shorter working weeks.

Agreements in place to prevent forced redundancies in Germany until 2029 will remain in place, Daimler said.

戴姆勒表示，防止德國(guó)在2029年之前被迫裁員的協(xié)議將繼續(xù)有效。

The workforce needs a clear strategy for the future, said Michael Brecht, chairman of Daimler’s works council. “A reduction in capacity must not be carried out on the backs of the employees,” he said.

戴姆勒勞資委員會(huì)主席邁克爾•布萊希特(Michael Brecht)表示，員工需要一個(gè)明確的未來(lái)戰(zhàn)略。他表示:“削減產(chǎn)能絕不能讓員工背上包袱。”
