The CAW has asked Chrysler to implement an early retirement package for senior workers, to lessen the impact of the layoffs at the Chrysler-owned Ajax Trim Plant, announced earlier this week. The company said that 61 will be laid off beginning in January. Another 304 will go in May and another 166 by late June, reduc- ing the number of hourly workers from 1,763 to 1,232. The layoffs Amy (8) and younger brother Matt (5) Bruce can could affect those with up to four to five years seniority. The introduction of new technologies in the production of car seats and outsourcing of in- terior door panels is behind the layoff which will affect 531 CAW Local 1090 members.

The manufacturing process, traditionally a 'cut and sew" operation, will be radically altered by the new "mold-in- place" system which requires less hands-on trim work. The mold-in place seats are already used in some Chrysler mini-vans in Windsor. PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, December 13, 1988 -- 39 CAW asks early retirement for workers "The company has been talking about discontinuing the four models for some time, so we ex- pected some cutbacks, but we were shocked by the 25 per cent cut," says O'Neil. 'Chrysler is bidding on a number of new jobs in the coming year which could mean more work but right not it's not looking good." Workers affected by these layoffs will be entitled to SUB, a program that provides benefits for up to a year.
