Stellantis to lay off over 2000 workers at Michigan plant in US

Chrysler, Dodge and Ram Trucks’ parent, Stellantis, announced Friday it will lay off 2,450 workers at its plant in the US state of Michigan.

Many of the affected workers may shift elsewhere in the company rather than face layoffs, it said in a statement.

Indefinitely laid-off represented seniority employees will receive 52 weeks of supplemental unemployment benefits, paid by the company, and 52 weeks of transition assistance, it said.

“This would be in addition to any state unemployment benefits an employee might be eligible to receive,” it said. “They will also receive two years of health care coverage.”

The move comes as Ram 1500 pickup production ends at the Warren Truck Assembly plant in Michigan.

Stellantis was formed in 2021 from the merger of the Italian-American conglomerate Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the French PSA Group. The company’s headquarters are in the Netherlands.

While Stellantis designs, manufactures and sells autos in 14 brands, it ranked fourth globally last year in sales among automakers.
