Stellantis (FCA US, LLC), has announced plans for temporary workforce reductions at its Detroit Assembly Complex – Mack (DACM) and Toledo Assembly Complex. This decision, driven by the need to align vehicle production with California Air Resource Board (CARB) emissions regulations across specific states, will impact operations at these facilities starting as early as February … (read full article...)

Strikes have consequences. Waking the sleeping dragon might not always be a good idea. Treating your partners with deception and indifference may come back to bite you. Ignorance and politics does not an environmentalist policy bedfellow make. Things are not always what they seem. The check is in the mail.
I could go on, but all these commandeered Mopar Willy-isms broadly resonate.
Good idea to go after our now obvious two tiered judicial system and code fairness actions under the guise of contract outcomes. Good to give hard working employees a raise. Good to be flexible but better to admit the truth, this all electric policy, these unachievable government imposed radicalized EPA standards and the climate change hoax are killing both side of the issue all at the same time. Zealots and fools does not a good economy for management and workers make. You can quote me on that.

This is not due to the emissions regulations. Other manufacturers are not doing this. It’s 100% shifting blame while trying to rile up people who already don’t like the regulations.

Even if it was related to the regulations, they had years to comply but kept churning out Hellcats and off road beasts. Don’t cry now.

It a capacity improvement shutdown... nothing to see here.

Selll fewer cars so make fewer cars. Nothing to see here. Unless making cars is your business. Lol

 

[TripleT]

they are making Line improvements that increase capacity during the Winter break stuff that couldn't be done during the strike months. Production typically slows down this time of the year.

One wants try to make that a negative then have at it a guess the sky is falling.

So this action is completely disconnected from excess inventory levels?

 

[TripleT]

Do you work in a production facility? Do you understand maintenance and line improvements? Of course they could be lying but to what end? This sort of thing has to be done, typically you run up to do them so yes inventory levels rise.... if you laying off people for rising inventory levels you just say that. You don't make up a story about making line improvements for CARB state capacity. Lets call Alex Jones maybe he has a theory.

You didn’t answer the question

ahhhh I did- maybe you don't understand.... Of course, you don't.

"RUN UP"

Call it what you want. Hopefully you’re right, I’m sure you are. But be mindful for many who haven’t drank the koolaid , it’s a bad look when a premium brand such as Jeep is advertising 10% off list sales and rebates galore, all the while as we watch the average days inventory supply sky rocket. But I’m sure this is just a run up, a seasonal adjustment . It’s fine. Nothing to see here.

Look Alex Jones…. It’s tough to just take things at their face. If the market is soft because of elevated prices and high interest rates then instead of just saying that they arranged line improvements traditionally when all OEMs do them just to hide the softening market.

Brilliant…..

Thank you
