The decision to cut 1,500 jobs from a Fiat Chrysler Automobiles plant in Windsor, Ont., comes after the two types of minivans manufactured at the plant saw sales plummet dramatically last year.
“They’re buying more SUVs, they’re buying more trucks, and I think that’s a big reason for this, too. People just aren’t as interested in minivans,” he told CTV News Channel on Thursday. “The situation here is strictly a business decision based on the demand of the Pacifica,” Cassidy said. “Its sole purpose is to supply seats to this factory. That plant will have to go down to two shifts as well. There will be workers there who will lose their jobs. Not to mention all of the tier-two suppliers that supply every single part that goes into the minivans that are built here. The impact will be significant.”
