Stellantis' decision to close its Luton factory raises concerns for over 1,000 employees, forcing them to consider relocating 140 miles or facing job loss.
The planned closure is part of Stellantis' strategy to consolidate operations and focus on the Ellesmere Port EV factory, highlighting the challenges posed by UK EV sales targets.
Ex-Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's government set strict emissions targets, mandating increasing EV sales percentages, putting additional pressure on Stellantis amid a global product transition.
Workers describe the relocation offer as a 'slap in the face', illustrating the emotional and financial turmoil faced by employees during this transition.
