The details of the 13,000 job cuts announced by Chrsyler are starting to come out as eight more factories will be affected other than the original three mentioned. There will be 11,000 production jobs cut, plus another 2,000 white collar jobs as well.

Of the 11,000 production jobs cut, 2,000 will be in Canada, and the remaining 9,000 in the U.S.

The newly announced eight plants are located in Indiana, Ohio and Michigan, and make parts and compenents in the slow-selling midsize and large vehicles.

The plant in Newark, Delaware will be closed sometime in the next two years, with shifts cut at the Warren, Michigan and St. Louis plants. The parts distribution center in Cleveland will be closed as well this year.

The greatest impact, according to company officials, will be in the southeastern Michigan region, where there will be cuts of 5,300 jobs by 2009.

An AP report added that, "Another 1,000 Michigan jobs will go as Chrysler explores selling support businesses that don't fit its core car-building mission, and 1,000 will be lost due to productivity improvements, said company spokesman David Elshoff. Where those job cuts will occur has not been determined yet, he said.

"In addition, about 1,600 of the 2,000 white-collar layoffs will come at the company's Auburn Hills headquarters, Elshoff said.

"In Ohio, about 200 jobs will be eliminated at the Toledo machining plant and another 110 at a stamping plant in Twinsburg, near Cleveland.

"In Michigan, the hourly job cuts include 1,000 positions when the shift is eliminated at the Warren truck plant, plus 250 jobs at a Detroit axle plant. About 200 more jobs would be lost at the Mack Avenue Engine Plant I in Detroit, another 100 at an engine factory in suburban Trenton, 65 more at a stamping plant in Sterling Heights and another 100 at a stamping plant in Warren."

With the one Indiana plant, another 100 jobs will be lost at a transmission plant in Kokomo.

After all these cuts, there are still 4,000 left that haven't been decided on.

Negotiations are currently in progress for early retirement packages, along with buyouts in both American and Canadian plants at this time. The Canadian Union said they have reached agreements on specific packages for their people.

Chrysler had an operating loss of $1.475 billion in 2006 and say that they will also incur losses throughout 2007.
