Hundreds of workers at Oxford's Cowley Mini plant will clock on for a Saturday shift this weekend as they look to pay back hours owed to the company.
Under an agreement with union leaders, the workers will be working hours banked when the plant shut down at Christmas.
Another Saturday will be worked on June 27 before the introduction of a new shift pattern on June 29 which will include the use of 250 newly recruited agency staff to cover Saturdays and Sundays, if required, following a rise in orders.
The move comes just over three months after the entire weekend shift was scrapped, with 850 agency staff made redundant.
