UAW: We Shall Not Be Moved To Sell

Sergio Marchionne can't wait to get his hands  on the 41.5 percent of Chrysler, which are in the hands of the UAW's VEBA trust. Once Fiat is in total control, Fiat and Chrysler could be merged, and the cash could be used to … but you know the drill from years back. Currently at stake are 3.3 percent. Fiat has a call option, but the UAW trust doesn't want to fork the shares over. Fiat's wants to pay $139.7 million, the union demands at least $342 million, says Reuters. The UAW says it would be a crime to sell the nice shares for anything less than $342 – literally "Sale of the called shares at the price calculated by Fiat would constitute a transaction prohibited by applicable federal law," the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust said.. Fiat sued. The fund countersued. The matter is now in Chancery court in Delaware. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
