Stellantis is trimming the work force at the Belvidere Assembly Plant in Illinois that produces the Jeep Cherokee in May.
A company spokeswoman said "the reductions will be achieved through a combination of retirement packages offered to eligible UAW-represented employees as well as layoffs of both hourly and salaried staff." Stellantis hasn't disclosed how many jobs will be cut.
The plant has been wracked by production downtime and previous layoffs. The automaker cut the second shift last summer and said in November that it was laying off around 400 workers.
