Chrysler cancels overtime shifts
Chrysler Group is cancelling overtime shifts at its Windsor Assembly Plant as the auto maker joins other major car companies affected by a looming parts shortage stemming from the disaster in Japan.
Chrysler will cut 1,825 jobs by eliminating one shift at a Toledo Jeep plant and accelerating the closure of its sport-utility vehicle factory in Newark, Del., because of the slowing economy and a shift toward smaller vehicles.
