TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) - At 5 p.m. on Thursday night, the last Jeep Cherokee will roll off the line in Toledo. Its departure for a plant in Illinois is causing a trickle-down effect on workers.
More than 3,000 Jeep workers will be back to work in the fall, but others won t have a job waiting for them. That s why important meetings were held here at the UAW Local 12 hall on Wednesday.
