Chrysler Proposed Ending Of Tiered Pay Scales But UAW Said Price Was Too High

Chrysler Group LLC pushed the United Auto Workers to ink a long-term agreement that would have eliminated the current two-tier wage system and kept the company's U.S. labor costs flat over the next eight years.

But that proved too big of a stretch for the union.

Chrysler's proposal to eliminate the current two-tier wage system and pay all production workers $22 an hour, which The Detroit News first reported on last week, would not have reduced the pay of any current employees, according to sources with direct knowledge of the company's plan.
