Stellantis has confirmed plans to lay off 1,139 workers at its Toledo Assembly Complex in Ohio. The layoffs will primarily affect the Toledo South plant, which produces the Jeep® Gladiator (JT). As of January 5, 2025, the plant will transition to a single-shift operation, reducing workforce requirements. This move is part of the company’s efforts to streamline operations, improve efficiency, and manage production levels more effectively as part of broader restructuring initiatives in North America.

 
This subject is a double edge sword for me. As a police officer for 30 years, I was a union officer for 26 of those 30 and I was pro union. But as a consumer looking at what the UAW is doing here blows my mind. The UAW union is there to protect workers. Also to get them the best deals they can in contract negotiations. As of right now, as we all know, Stellantis is having issues selling vehicles for many reasons that I’m not gonna go into that’s already been covered here. Vehicles like washers and dryers and refrigerators and TVs aren’t selling you cut back on production. When you cut back on production, you need less workers. So how the UAW can say the Stellantis is violating the agreement is beyond me. It’s all economics and poor management. Last I knew poor management is not a contract violation, it’s just stupidity. And as of right now, these vehicles are not selling and if they’re not selling, they don’t need to be made and if you’re not making vehicles, you don’t need employees to make them. I’m just baffled at the way the UAW is handling this.
