Stellantis has already completed a round of layoffs this year. 539 U.S. temp workers were laid off in January. Stellantis said that this was temporary and due to a lack of demand, InvestorPlace reported.
The rumored March Stellantis layoff comes after staffing ebbs and flows following either the UAW strikes or decisions to cut jobs based on operational decisions. In 2023, over 1,000 U.S. factory jobs were cut as the company ceased Jeep Cherokee production. Stellantis rehired 165 parts factory workers by the end of the year, The Pantagraph said.
