This is not Toyota “lifers” those are contracts. The labor shortage in Japan is so severe that a lot of south Americans are moving in to work. Including Toyota plants. I don’t know if those fired are So. Americans, but finding job is not an issue in Japan.

This is BIG news in Japan because companies do everything they can to avoid lay-offs. Losing a job in that country is more serious than in America. It can be very hard to get re-hired.
