Stellantis is implementing substantial workforce reductions across its North American operations. On Wednesday, the company announced plans to lay off approximately 1,100 employees at its Jeep Gladiator plant in Toledo, Ohio.

The company cited the need to improve efficiency and reduce inventory across its North American business as the primary reasons behind this decision. While acknowledging the difficulty of this move, Stellantis underscored its necessity to regain competitiveness and eventually restore production levels.

In an effort to reverse declining sales in the region, the automaker has overhauled its senior management and reduced salaries and part-time staff over the past year.

However, CEO Carlos Tavares’s decision to proceed with large-scale layoffs has provoked outrage among the United Auto Workers (UAW), the union representing the affected employees.

UAW President Shawn Fain has threatened a nationwide strike at Stellantis plants following a six-week walkout against Stellantis and its Detroit rivals just a year ago.
