The brutal restructuring at Vauxhall in Britain is part of a global jobs massacre by Stellantis and other transnational car producers. Unite officials will be working with the company every step of the way.

Volkswagen isn’t the only automaker eyeing plant closures as Stellantis has proposed consolidating their manufacturing footprint in the United Kingdom. As part of this effort, the company wants to close the Luton plant marking the end of 120 years of production since Vauxhall first established the facility in 1905.

The owner of Vauxhall has announced plans to close its van making factory in Luton, putting about 1,100 jobs at risk. Stellantis, which also owns brands including Citroen, Peugeot and Fiat, said it would consolidate its electric van production at its other UK plant in Ellesmere Port.
