DuPont to cut 2,500 jobs, trim 4,000 contractors

12/4/08

DOVER, Del. DuPont will cut 2,500 jobs and said it will not turn a profit in the fourth quarter as a severe slowdown in the automotive and construction markets eats away at chemical sales.
DuPont will trim 4,000 contractors by the end of this year, with additional contractor reductions expected in 2009. The company also plans to implement work schedule reductions and will redeploy more than 400 employees on projects to reduce working capital and operating costs.
Shares in the Wilmington, Del.-based chemical company fell more than 5 percent, or $1.26, to $22.35 in premarket trading.
DuPont expects to take a fourth-quarter, pretax charge of about $500 million, or 40 cents per share, for the restructuring plan, resulting in a pretax earnings increase of about $130 million for 2009.
