Dec 21 (Reuters) - Stellantis ( STLA ) has reversed

its decision to lay off about 1,100 employees at an Ohio Jeep

plant, instead extending a worker adjustment and retraining

notification notice, the Franco-Italian automaker said late on

Saturday.

No employees will be placed on indefinite layoff on Jan. 5

due to a previously announced shift reduction, a company

spokesperson said in an emailed statement.

Last month, Stellantis ( STLA ) said it would lay off employees at

the Toledo South Assembly Plant, which makes the Jeep Gladiator,

in an effort to improve efficiency and reduce inventory across

its North American operations.
