Stellantis offering retirement packages to eligible employees in Windsor and Brampton

Workers arrive for their shift at the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) assembly plant in Windsor, Ont., on June 12, 2018. Federal Economic Development Minister Navdeep Bains says he'll travel to Windsor Saturday to offer support to workers facing layoffs by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. The company announced Thursday it would cut the third shift at its Windsor plant at the end of September at a loss of about 1,500 jobs.

Stellantis says a workforce reduction will take effect over the next several months

Retirement packages are being offered to eligible employees at the Windsor Assembly Plant. 

Stellantis says a workforce reduction will take effect over the next several months and the packages will be rolled out on Monday.

Employees will have two-weeks to make a decision before Stellantis will then have to decide how many layoff notices to issue.

The company says it's trying to find efficiencies but every effort will be made to place laid off hourly employees into open full-time positions based on seniority. 

The automaker adds it's committed to the future of Canadian operations as demonstrated by the $3.6-billion investment in achieving 50% battery electric sales in North America by 2030.

The packages will also be offered to workers in Brampton.
