After announcing a merger last month with rival automaker, Honda, Nissan is now saying it will reduce production and cut thousands of jobs to its plants across the globe. This includes both production sites in Tennessee.

When it announced its recovery plan in November, Nissan didn’t give details on where the job cuts might come. The workforce reduction of 9,000 people amounts to about 6% of its more than 133,000 global employees. The company also plans to slash its global production capacity by 20%.
