The layoffs in Warren, Michigan, come as Stellantis ends production of the Ram 1500 Classic truck, which has been discontinued. The cuts were first announced in August, around the same time the company said it was delaying plans to reopen an idle plant in Belvedere, Illinois. a key promise made in contract negotiations last year.

The United Auto Workers Union has threatened to strike over the delay, blaming Stellantis for what it calls gross mismanagement. The automaker says a strike would be illegal, maintaining that market volatility and a slow adoption of EVs led to a shift in plans. As Stellantis grapples with declining sales, the company says it will be implementing layoffs across its footprint. Andrea Hsu, NPR News.
