LISTEN: Amid Layoff Talks, Stellantis Reveals $400M Investment in Mich

Last month, Stellantis created headlines after comments suggesting it could lay off as many as 2,450 of the 3,700 union workers employed at a truck plant just outside of Detroit.The automaker warned that these measures would hit the Stellantis Warren Truck Plant, a Michigan factory that has been producing an older version of the Tradesman pickup that’s been replaced with a redesign. The new models will be produced in a different plant in Sterling Heights, Mich.The announcement led to angry reactions from the UAW and while the conversation is still far from over, new developments are being added to the mix that forecast the company’s investment strategy.
