WTF? Panasonic Orders Some Families Home on Pandemic Risk
Quote:
Feb. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Panasonic Corp., the world?s largest maker of consumer electronics, ordered Japanese employees in several emerging markets to send their families back to Japan on concern of a potential influenza pandemic.
The company in December instructed staff assigned to parts of Asia, Africa, eastern Europe and South America to repatriate their families by September, Akira Kadota, a spokesman for Osaka- based Panasonic, said by telephone today. He declined to comment on the number of employees or households affected.
