UAW reaches tentative agreement with Chrysler
The UAW said Wednesday it has reached a tentative agreement with Chrysler, giving the union a deal with the third and final automaker in this year's national contract negotiations.
GM and Chrysler have reached a tentative agreement with the UAW on some key modifications to the 2007 contract, but talks continue over the issue of allowing the automakers to use stock rather than cash to pay half their obligations to the Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Associations set up in the contract to oversee autoworker health care.
