DaimlerChrysler AG announced plans Wednesday morning to cut 13,000 jobs at the Chrysler Group from 2007 to 2009 as part of a three-year plan to return the Auburn Hills unit to profitability by next year.
In Michigan, a shift will be eliminated this year at the Warren Truck Plant, which makes the Ram full-size pickup and Dakota compact pickup.
The job reductions, which amount to about 16% of the Chrysler Group workforce, call for cutting 2,000 salaried employees and 11,000 hourly jobs, 9,000 in the Unites States and 2,000 in Canada.
Chrysler said special retirement programs and other termination and attrition programs would be announced separately.
The Newark, Del., Assembly plant will be idled by 2009 and the Cleveland, Ohio, Parts Distribution Center will be idled in December 2007.
