The layoffs come as Stellantis seeks to cut costs, boost efficiency and ramp up electric-vehicle production plans

said on Friday it will lay off about 400 U.S. salaried workers as it seeks to cut costs, boost efficiency and ramp up electric-vehicle production plans.

The company said, “As the auto industry continues to face unprecedented uncertainties and heightened competitive pressures around the world, Stellantis continues to make the appropriate structural decisions across the enterprise to improve efficiency and optimize our cost structure.” Earlier this month, United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain said Stellantis had terminated 2,000 temporary workers, criticizing the decision as “about corporate greed.” He noted that under the UAW contract reached with Stellantis last, around 3,000 temporary workers were converted to permanent jobs.
