DETROIT – What was Chrysler went to Daimler Chrysler then Fiat Chrysler and now Stellantis. The merger was announced over the weekend and the new CEO on Tuesday talked about how the enlarged company will compete. The one thing Stellantis CEO, Carlos Tavares, said Tuesday that should give FCA employees comfort is he doesn’t expect layoffs saying the company’s new global scale will put a shield around jobs. But the CEO says global scale provides strength to handle a lot meaning no layoffs. “I think Stellantis is at a point of strong fundamentals to do great things in the future,” said Tavares.

DEARBORN, Mich. A Dearborn Buick dealership, owned by Chaldeans, is suing General Motors over comments and policies they claim were racist. According to the suit, the Robins were questioned beginning in the spring of 2019 about its use of family discount codes. They also allege GM engaged in racist practices restricting the Robins ability to sell vehicles by requiring customers to provide official documents to prove they were related to a salesperson. A spokesperson for General Motors said the dealership fell out of compliance with key parts of their contract and plans to file a motion to withdraw the suit and seek damages. GM intends to vigorously defend this meritless lawsuit and seek relief, GM spokesperson Jim Cain said.
