Stellantis has called off its plans to lay off around 1,100 employees at its Jeep factories in Ohio, according to media reports, citing a statement from the automaker. The reversal for its plans at the Toledo plant came three weeks after the sudden resignation of Chief Executive Carlos Tavares.

Stellantis confirmed Saturday it was reversing a decision to lay off 1,100 workers at its Jeep plant in the US state of Ohio, following the ouster of embattled chief executive Carlos Tavares.

Stellantis NV will no longer lay off more than 1,000 people at its Toledo Jeep Gladiator plant in January, the automaker said Friday.

Stellantis has reversed its decision to lay off about 1,100 employees at an Ohio Jeep plant, instead extending a worker adjustment and retraining notification notice, the Franco-Italian automaker said late on Saturday.

The decision comes as "Stellantis continues to reassess its strategy in North America," the spokesperson added. The automaker had announced the job cuts at the plant in Toledo, Ohio in early November, saying it was part of an effort to "regain its competitive edge" amid struggles with falling sales.
