Here’s an interesting little news piece, reported by Economic Times:
The car manufacturer released a statement on Friday that they are taking a difficult decision that will result in layoffs of workers, and it will last for more than half a year. They added that their industry was affected by a lot of factors starting from the surge of the Covid-19 pandemic and the global semiconductor shortage. However, the most challenging aspect was the shift towards the electric vehicle market and the change in manufacturing equipment to facilitate them.
Stellantis said earlier in March that they were going to reduce their workforce at the plant which was responsible for manufacturing the Jeep Cherokee model.
Still, they did not disclose the number of employees they plan to lay off. That was the last of multiple job cut-offs at the facility.
As it turns out, it’s all of them. I wonder whether Gov. Pritzker knew about this when he was running on his sterling record of bringing businesses to Illinois in November?
Will the last one to leave turn the lights out?
The title of the post sounds like something Joe Biden might say in one of his gaslighting nonsense sessions.
