New job cuts for Stellantis. This time we are in the United States, to be precise at the Warren Truck assembly site, outside Detroit, where the Italian-French group is ending production of the Ram 1500 Classic: an operation that, according to a rumour reported by Reuters, will force Stellantis itself to lay off many 2,450 workers.
Nearly 2,500 workers laid off
According to what we read, in fact, the layoffs will come into force starting from next October 8th, when the plant in question transitions from a two-shift to a one-shift operating model in general assembly.

Stellantis job cuts
What will happen now? That the laid-off United Auto Workers union workers at the plant will receive 52 weeks of benefits of additional unemployment paid by the company and 52 weeks of transition assistanceas also confirmed by Stellantis. And that’s not all, because the same workers will also receive two years of health coverage. Let’s remember that the UAW union reached new labor agreements with the Italian-French group last fall, after a historic six-week strike.
