The Nth wave of layoffs in 2023 has arrived.
At the end of October, Ford announced another 364 layoffs, resulting in a total of approximately 3100 Ford workers being laid off due to the strike. At the same time, General Motors has also temporarily laid off about 2300 people, while Stellantis has laid off about 2040 people. That is to say, the Detroit Big Three have laid off over 7000 employees due to strikes.
American car companies are in a state of anxiety, European car companies are also slightly in a state of embarrassment, and Volkswagen and Volvo are also frantically laying off employees. Even more terrifying is that this wave of layoffs has already affected the industry chain, including automotive component giants such as Autoliv, Ansemy, Goodyear, and Freia joining in one after another. Tens of thousands of employees have left the automotive industry, making this autumn particularly cold.
