Fiat Chrysler targeted with UAW strike deadline

The UAW has notified Fiatchrysler that it'll terminate the labor contract extensions under which 40,000 unionized employees have been operating since Sept. 14 and could go on strike.
Automotive Information first discovered of the notices from a employee in a vital FCA plant in northern Indiana, which posted the notification letter in the union to the organization this morning.
The International UAW has establish a "strike deadline" of 11:59 p.m. EDT Wednesday. Nevertheless, it was uncertain whether a possible strike will be against all of FCA or against tactical plants, including the automaker's enormous transmission plant as well as a neighboring casts plant in Kokomo, Ind.
The notice was posted on the UAW net website now.
FCA US issued a statement confirming it had acquired the strike telling in the labor organization.
"The business continues to work together with the UAW in a constructive way to achieve a fresh deal," the auto-maker mentioned.
The labor organization as well as the auto-maker have been "speaking," an FCA spokeswoman said Monday. Nevertheless, it was uncertain whether any progress have been made after UAW members at FCA overwhelmingly rejected a tentative deal reached Sept. 1-5.
Tactical actions
A UAW source stated tactical strikes may be utilized to boost haggling pressure on FCA to improved the conditions of the rejected agreement.
While a common strike may potentially shut down all 40,000 hourly workers at FCA, a tactical actions could conserve UAW costs from its strike fund.
A strike merely at Kokomo would shut-down about 75-percent of money-making Jeep and Ram pick-up generation, stated Kristin Dziczek, manager of the business and labour group in the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Mich.
FCA employees not on strike but stagnated with a shutdown in a vital part plant including Kokomo could be entitled to unemployment insurance, as an alternative to the $200 per week in the union's strike fund.
