It’s shutdown week for production at Toyota plants in Cambridge and Woodstock.
The move is in response to a parts shortage in the wake of the Japan earthquake and tsunami.
The company does say there will be no layoffs during the shutdown.
Workers will still draw a pay cheque and instead of producing vehicles will spend this week involved in training and plant improvement activities.
The local plants employ about 6,500 people.
