Stellantis trimming 3,500 U.S. jobs?
The automaker is looking to reduce its hourly workforce by offering incentive packages that include $50,000 payments for workers hired before 2007, UAW Local 1264 said in a letter dated Monday posted on its Facebook page.
In late February, Stellantis indefinitely halted operations at an assembly plant in Illinois, citing the rising costs of electric vehicle production.
The action impacted about 1,350 workers at the Belvidere, Illinois, plant that built the Jeep Cherokee SUV and resulted in indefinite layoffs. The automaker has warned it may not resume operations as it considers other options.
The UAW letter said openings created by workers leaving would be filled by workers on indefinite layoff. Stellantis said in February that about 40,000 U.S. hourly workers were eligible for profit sharing.
Last week, UAW President Shawn Fain said Stellantis’ decision to idle the Illinois plant was “a flat-out violation” of the union’s contract with the UAW and is unacceptable.
The UAW will enter talks with the Detroit Three before labor contracts expire in mid-September.
Earlier this month, General Motors said about 5,000 salaried workers accepted buyouts to leave the automaker. GM CEO Mary Barra said February job cuts of a few hundred jobs and the 5,000 buyouts “provided approximately $1 billion towards” a $2 billion cost-cutting target.
Ford Motor Co recently announced significant job cuts in Spain, Germany, and other parts of Europe and in August said it would cut a total of 3,000 salaried and contract jobs, mostly in North America and India.
