Yennora. Dana puts off 115 workers

Car component parts manufacturer, Dana Automotive Systems, is expected to put 115 people out of work, at its Yennora factory “The company is taking much of the operation to Thailand where labour costs are approximately 20 per cent of Australian wages. You can't live on that in Australia," said AWU NSW state secretary, Russ Collison. He said quality at the Yennora plant was one of the highest in the world among the Dana plants, which stretch out across 26 countries employing over 20,000 workers. Dana’s head office is based in Ohio, USA.
