Stellantis NV indefinitely laid off about 1,100 workers from its Warren Truck Assembly Plant late last week — less than half the up-to-2,450 positions that the automaker originally warned could be eliminated after production of the Ram 1500 Classic pickup came to an end earlier this month.

But additional job cuts could be coming. Eric Graham, president of United Auto Workers Local 140, which represents workers at the plant, said he anticipated another 149 workers will be placed on indefinite layoff soon, possibly next week. He attributed those additional layoffs as largely due to low orders of the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer SUVs, which the plant produced alongside the Ram 1500 Classic prior to the last pickup rolling off the line Oct. 4.

“It’s bad and it’s getting worse,” Graham said of the recent indefinite job cuts and slower sales of the Wagoneer leading to additional concerns. He’d hoped some of his laid-off members would shift to open roles at the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant and Toledo Assembly Complex, but both those Stellantis facilities have also cut positions recently.

Warren Truck production has been temporarily shut down since last week, Graham said, also thanks to low orders of the luxury full-size Jeep SUVs. He said the pause is expected to continue through next week, and possibly beyond, with workers temporarily laid off.

In the third quarter, Stellantis reported Wagoneer sales were up 3%, but Grand Wagoneer, the more upscale model, slipped 8%. While the plant now employs fewer people, it is receiving $97.6 million in investments from the company, which plans to launch electrified versions of the big SUVs next year.

Stellantis originally announced in August that up to 2,450 jobs could be cut at Warren Truck once Ram 1500 Classic production ended, though the company emphasized the final number would likely be lower. Graham and other UAW officials have argued that the plant could maintain two shifts and higher staffing levels if Stellantis sent excess production of Ram trucks at nearby Sterling Heights to Warren Truck, but union leaders and analysts say the automaker instead plans to send that overflow work to a plant in Mexico.

Stellantis did not immediately comment on the Warren Truck layoffs. The carmaker has also been trimming jobs at other U.S. plants in recent weeks as it conducts “ongoing assessments of our manufacturing processes to improve efficiency,” according to a previous statement. The company announced late last month that indefinite layoffs were expected across its footprint.

And Stellantis has also slashed production at multiple other plants beyond Warren in recent weeks, from Detroit to Toledo, as it seeks to tame large inventories of many models that have helped fuel dealer complaints and investor concerns. The automaker’s U.S. sales are down 17% year-over-year through the third quarter. The company’s share price, meanwhile, has fallen by more than 40% so far this year.

Stellantis on Wednesday provided third-quarter vehicle shipment estimates that showed a 20% decline worldwide compared to 2023. Shipments were especially down in North America, by 36% or by about 170,000 units. More than 100,000 units of that decline was due to recent factory production cuts, which the company says was meant to reduce dealer inventory.

The only region that saw a vehicle shipment increase for the quarter was South America, which was up 14%, to 259,000 vehicles.
