Chrysler to restart plants, including Kokomo’s-WEB ONLY

Chrysler Group LLC says announced yesterday that it will resume making vehicles at seven of its North American factories starting June 29. In addition, work will resume the same day at engine, stamping and transmission plants – including four plants in Kokomo – that supply parts to the seven production facilities. The plants in Kokomo have more than 4,500 workers. All the company’s factories were shut down May 4, shortly after it went into Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
