BELVIDERE, Ill. (WIFR) - One more week of layoffs in store for Belvidere employees, according to a spokesperson from Stellantis.

The shut down extension comes after months of layoffs for plant workers, some of whom are wondering “Will we ever get back to work?”

The manufacturing giant maintains that ‘unprecedented’ microchip shortages are the reason employees aren’t back in the plant, but who knows when that problem will be solved.

“Stellantis continues to work closely with our suppliers to mitigate the manufacturing impacts caused by the various supply chain issues facing our industry. Due to the unprecedented global microchip shortage, production at the Belvidere (Ill.) Assembly Plant will be down the week of March 14,” said the spokesperson.
