Dearborn Layoffs: Trump Tariffs, UAW Leadership, and Bitter Fallout
Approximately 600 Cleveland-Cliffs Dearborn Works employees, including hourly and salaried workers, will face layoffs beginning July 15th due to weak U.S. automotive production. The UAW Local 600, caught off guard by the announcement, describes the situation as chaotic and is scrambling to find alternative employment for its members. While supplemental pay will be provided, its limited nature necessitates a swift job search in a currently unfavorable hiring climate. The union plans to assist members in navigating the upcoming layoffs.
