Stellantis Cancels Ohio Layoffs, Reinstates 1,100 Jobs
Automaker Stellantis has reversed its decision to lay off 1,100 workers at its Jeep assembly plant in Ohio, providing relief to employees just ahead of the holiday season. The layoffs were initially part of cost-cutting measures implemented by former CEO Carlos Tavares, who recently stepped down.
The decision marks a significant shift in strategy under Stellantis' new leadership, aiming to stabilize its workforce and reassure employees amid ongoing industry challenges. The Ohio plant, known for producing Jeep vehicles, plays a critical role in the company’s operations and its iconic brand identity.
