Ducati has approved temporary layoffs for 380 workers after a decision to cut output by 1,700 bikes, a company executive said Wednesday.
Human-resources director Danilo Bernardini said the production cuts were due to weak international demand amid a slump in the motorcycle market "This is an absolutely normal procedure, and a temporary measure to prevent overstocking ahead of new motorcycle launches slated for later this year.”
According to Bernadini, the workers will be laid off for "just a few days" at full salary, to allow company to run down unsold stocks.
