Chrysler Prepares To Play Hardball In UAW Negotiations
Chrysler Group LLC will not sign any contract with the United Auto Workers that includes cost-of-living adjustments or similar automatic pay increases, according to sources familiar with the company's position.
"It won't happen. Not here," said one person briefed on the matter, who said the automaker was prepared to go into arbitration with the union over the issue if necessary.

As a Detroiter of purely Italian descent, that was an idiotic comment 002. If you knew anything of Italian culture, Italian industry, Marchionne's history and/or the labor history of the UAW you would know why.

Chrysler will play hardball with the new contract negotiations by limiting UAW members to only 1 pot smoking or beer drinking break daily, not multiple.

-internationalhomoofmystery, northern Italy and southern Italy/Sicily are as different as NYC and Mobile, Alabama.
Therefore, to imply that FIAT of Italy's northern industrial region is somehow "the Mafia" is asinine. Further, it was Marchionne (educated across the Detroit river in Windsor, ONT) who "attempted" to close Sicily's largest manufacturing concern... A FIAT factory.
Finally, one thing that has always differenciated the UAW from other unions has been a freedom from organized crime connections. There is a profitable Detroit "cosa nostra", (some say more profitable than NYC) but it's never had any influence over the UAW, even historically.

Internationalmanofmystery must be a toolbag, not a fag. His post-comment conversation ruined this otherwise decent article.

"-internationalHOMOofmystery, northern Italy and southern Italy/Sicily are as different as NYC and Mobile, Alabama."
I draw your attention to the ABOVE!! Totally uncalled for!! I am surprised he is not BANNED!!! And YOU are entitled to your opinion, I think, as long as you don't resort to name calling!! Wouldn't YOU agree??!! And I GUESS NOT, to that last part, seeing as though you opened with "...must be a toolbag"
SOME of us are reasonable, DECENT, and intelligent enough to get our point across with nothing else but a sound argument!!!

And as for:

DELAN: Read this "...internationalHOMOofmystery" from 1c3am5's last post and tell me YOU are NOT, as YOU say, the "Retard?!!!"

"Ok, but you too should be bannned for saying.
"you moron!! I should come to Detroit and take a baseball bat to your retarded cranium, you piece of human garbage!!!"
I would take that as MY punishment because I am fair!! Let's ALL be banned! And for the record, I did NOT START this!! Would you agree?!!
And a person on here who is GAY (and I am NOT) should not be ridiculed for their sexual orientation! They should not have to worry about some "classless" person resorting to that!!!
