Description
Lear Corporation, a manufacturer of car seats, is to cut 99 jobs in Trollhättan. The job losses are blamed on declining orders from Saab Automobile, their largest client. Production at the Saab factory has stood still for seven weeks between March and May 2011 and through most of the summer of 2011. This has caused serious problems for a number of subcontractors, including Lear Corporation.
