The car industry suffered another setback yesterday when Lucas Electrical Company announced that many of its 12,000 workers at 15 factories in the West Midlands would be going on short time. It was expected that they would work a four-day week starting early next month.
"There will be a requirement for some short-time working in selected product areas and the final details will be organized on a site-by-site basis," a Lucas spokesman said in Birmingham.
The factories cover an area from Telford, Shropshire, to Solihull in the West Midlands. Many of those involved are women and the products include alternators, batteries and headlamps. For many families the wife has been the sole earner in recent months.
The Lucas announcement is expected to have an aggravated effect on the region’s rapidly declining economy.
The company spokesman said that not all the 12,000 would be affected; about 20 percent of the staff would not be affected at all.
The announcement comes after BL’s production cuts in the Austin-Rover division with a two-week extended holiday for 8,000 workers because of the sluggish market. Dunlop in Birmingham has made a similar decision.
Lucas said that it was also because of reductions in the schedules of other customers in the car industry. It as emphasized that it was temporary and its duration would depend on how many cars were sold in the coming months. [br] Which of the following is true about the bad news?
选项
A、Workers would work a five-day week.
B、Women would have to take early retirement.
C、8,000 workers would have fewer paid holidays than before.
D、It will result in an increase of the decline of the area’s economy.
答案
D
解析
细节理解题,第一段最后一句提到“It was expected that they would work a four-day week starting early next month”,A所提到的a live-day work与事实不符,因而是错误的;第三段讲到上述减少开工时间的政策将涉及到很多人,其中很多是妇女,但并不是说要这些妇女提前退休,因此答案B也同原文不符;在第6段中提到,由于市场不景气,8000名工人将不得不多休假两周(a two-week extended holiday),至于是否带薪休假,文中并未提到,因此,答案C也不正确。而在第4段中,讲到Lucas的此项决定将会对该地区本己迅速下滑的经济造成雪上加霜的影响,同答案D的意思一致。
