UAW may not accept new deal
UAW support shaky for Chrysler pact
The Chrysler-United Auto Workers agreement was thrown into doubt after several UAW locals voted against it over the weekend. A majority of Chrysler's 45,000 UAW workers have to approve the contract. Since voting started last Thursday, six locals representing 11,000 workers have rejected the pact, while at least seven locals with 9,000 workers have approved it. (Detroit Free Press) Chrysler agreed to invest in 55 of its 59 UAW plants over the next four years, but opponents want stronger job guarantees. The outcome is too close to call, said U.C. Berkeley professor Harley Shaiken, and "we won't know until the last local votes." (Bloomberg)
