Chrysler and a few UAW (United Auto Workers) representatives met in Detroit this week to come up with a new collective bargaining agreement (Chapter 9 in our book). The talks ended on Wednesday because of a major stalemate between the two groups. Chrysler doesn't want a limit on the number of entry level workers they can hire while the UAW wants there to be a cap on the number of workers making entry-level pay. Neither side wants to budge, so there is a major stalemate. The UAW is moving on to talks with Ford to work out an agreement with them. The UAW already reached an agreement with GM so many people thought Chrysler would follow, but that didn't happen. I may not know all the facts so my opinion may not be that informed, but I'm going to have to side with the workers in this argument. A cap on the number of entry-level workers Chrysler can hire is not a huge thing to ask for. Chrysler can still hire some new workers to cut costs, but veterans would still be protected. And job security in an economy like ours is very important.
