General Motor Company is suing Fait Chrysler, alleging its rival benefits from bribes to auto union which give officially unfair benefit in labour talks. The FCA officials, who bribed former United Auto Worker officials, in a long-running case involving a UAW employee training program, that has trainshed the union’s image. After UAW ended a lengthy strike the suit comes only weeks at GM. Currently, the union is immersed in labour talks with FCA, the last of Detroit’s ‘Big Three’ to negotiate after workers ratified contracts with GM and Ford.
“FCA was the clear sponsor of pervasive wrongdoing, paying millions of dollars in bribes to obtain benefits, concessions, and advantages in the negotiation, implementation, and administration of labour agreements over time,” GM said. It alleges FCA’s actions ‘corrupted the implementation of the 2009 collective bargaining agreement’ as well as ‘the negotiation, implementation, and administration of the 2011 and 2015 agreements.’
