850 jobs go at Mini car factory BMW has confirmed that 850 jobs are to go at the Cowley plant in Oxford, which makes the Mini, and that weekend working has been scrapped.
All agency workers who did the weekend shift at the factory have lost their jobs, with immediate effect.
The site is closing for a week after a fall in sales as a result of the economic downturn.
The carmaker also said it had identified 150 surplus workers at its Mini plant in Swindon.
The workers will be offered a transfer to work in Oxford, it added.
