NEW YORK: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV clinched a new tentative labour contract with the United Auto Workers by agreeing to double up on a major investment in US production announced earlier this year.
The companies have won over the French state in part by assuring that they can generate synergies without closing any plants. Adding production capacity amid a global slowdown in vehicle sales could be a risky gambit for the combined carmaker. The union said its national council will meet Dec 4 to review the tentative agreement and decide whether hourly and salary members should start voting on ratification beginning Dec 6.
The union secured US$11,000 ratification bonuses from General Motors Co following a 40-day strike that ended last month.
