Thousands of workers returned to work at Honda’s car plant in Swindon this morning, as the factory prepares to restart production of Civic and CR-V models for Europe.Production at Honda of the UK Manufacturing (HUM) was suspended for four months in February, following a drop in demand for new cars due to the economic downturn.Thousands of workers agreed to a 3 per cent pay cut for the next 10 months while managers have accepted a 5 per cent cut.
