    Scientific-Atlanta lays off 1,300 in Mexico, does not rule out further cuts

    Scientific-Atlanta has announced it is laying off 1,300 workers or 30 per cent of the workforce at its Juarez, Mexico facility.

    The company says it was forced to make the move (necessitated after it discontinued the third shift) because the under the economic conditions prevailing, it no longer needs the last shift to satisfy demand.

    Scientific-Atlanta did not rule out further staff cuts saying it was evaluating the need for any additional restructuring in other parts of the company due to reduced demand.
