From the Japanese automaker Toyota clarified that during this week the plant in the city of Zárate is without activity within the framework of "the technical winter stops we make every year." The difference in this opportunity is that the one-week technical stop was extended for another week. 

“Normally we were doing a technical stop week, this year we do an additional week. It has to do with maintenance and also with production volumes. There is a drop in production but in our case that decline is much lower than in the rest of the industry, ”said Toyota. 

During the period in which the plant is in the maintenance stage, the workers continue to collect their salary and the days of stop count as vacations. For those employees who do not have enough vacations, the hour bank scheme is used, according to which the worker then works on a Saturday when production returns to more interesting levels. "The one of the bank of hours is a scheme that has been used since 1996", clarify from Toyota.
