Carmageddon Has Begun: Michigan Families Are Losing Their Jobs Because Of Tariffs

Today, Stellantis NA, announced it will temporarily lay-off 900 people in Michigan and Indiana, including those from their Warren and Sterling Heights factories. This follows the news of President Trump’s 25% auto tariffs that went into effect today. 

Michigan Families for Fair Care issued the following statement in response:

“Today, we are beginning to see the first casualties of the monumental trade war the Republican party has launched against working Americans to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires. This did not need to happen. Men and women here in Warren and Sterling Heights will have to go home unemployed and left to wonder how they will provide for their families. Congressman John James, this is happening in your district. YOU voted to cede all the power you had to stop these tariffs to the executive. We urge you to take action to combat this increasingly dangerous and unnecessary risk for our economy. While we still have one.”
