Toyota was forced to repeatedly halt production at a Mexico plant in February and March after local labor shortages

local labour shortages snarled output at suppliers, and the stoppages illustrate a potential choke point for the world's top automaker, which plans to produce 10 million vehicles this year.

Toyota halted production for a total 19 days in February and March at its plant in Tijuana, Mexico, where it makes the Tacoma pick-up truck, according to two of the people. Technical issues at the plant were also a factor in the stoppage, they said. 

Reuters spoke to four people at suppliers and Toyota. All of them declined to be identified because the information has not been made public. Toyota is now working with some suppliers to ease the strain. Still, some parts makers are barely managing to keep production going because of the worker shortage, one of the people said.

  1. Might think about bring that work back to a non union state like Alabama. I seem to remember Poss Perot saying “You implement that NAFTA, the Mexican trade agreement, where they pay people a dollar an hour, have no health care, no retirement, no pollution controls,” Perot said during the second presidential debate in October 1992, “and you’re going to hear a giant sucking sound of jobs being pulled out of this country.”
