It said the deal includes modifications to the union's 2007 collective bargaining agreement and the trust program dedicated to retiree health benefits. The UAW did not specify those concessions.
So, can we now dispense with the union-bashing and cheap shots at Obama? Funny how no one has a harsh word for Chrysler management, the people actually responsible for making the business decisions.
I'd like to believe that a deal with Fiat will produce something good. I think the alliance with Daimler was bad for Chrysler financially but it was very good for their product lines. I don't see anything currently offered by Fiat that I'd like to see in a Chrysler though some spillover from Fiat's other subsidiaries--Maserati and Ferrari--would be greatly appreciated.
How can you hold those multi-million dollar babies responsible, They have done all they can to bleed the auto makers dry!
