Chrysler, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne to Add 1,600 Jobs In IllinoisJan. 30, 2012 Brent Snavely
Earlier this week, Chrysler confirmed that it plans to hire 400 to 500 part time and temporary workers at the plant. The additional 1,100 workers would be for a third crew at the plant to support production of the Dodge Dart, a new compact car, as well as Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot. The additional crew of workers will start in July, one of the people said. News of the plans to hire a total of 1,600 was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. Chrysler is advertising on the Web for part-time hourly workers and full-time, temporary workers at www.chryslerhourlyworkers.com. About 2,700 work at the plant now. The Dart is expected to be the first credible small car for any Chrysler brand in years. It also is the first to combine Fiat and Chrysler technology and is built on a widened and lengthened version of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta. Source: (c)2012 the Detroit Free Press |
