Nissan warned trade unions at its Barcelona plant that the factory's future is at risk unless work rules change and productivity improves.
The Barcelona plant "is not competitive in terms of productivity, flexibility and salary costs," said Teruo Takebe, managing director of Nissan Motor Iberica SA, the subsidiary that operates the plant.
Nissan plans to invest [euro]400 million in NMI, but that "doesn't mean that the future of the company is assured," Takebe added.
