Auto workers vote to tie pay to profits in Chrysler pact
UAW delegates narrowly approve a tentative Chrysler contract linking wage raises to company profits and living costs. The 150 member Chrysler council backed the pact 51 to 49, with roll calls showing 262.02 to 248.99 votes by Local 1264 delegates. If ratified, the 43,200 autoworkers affected would receive one year of wage gains tied to profits and a cost of living protection, plus a two year non economic issues cycle.
