Dodge Truck Layoffs

Aug 19, 2024

Stellantis’ Warren Truck plant is going to lose a shift when the Ram 1500 Classic production ends. This is just the latest in a round of shifts being cut and/or workers being laid off due to sales and inventory problems at the plants.

The 2023 UAW contract had been called a “historic” contract—mostly because it did include some raises. But what about working conditions? What about the cutting shifts at plants—like at the Ford Rouge electric vehicle plant? That was NOT something workers voted for.
