Get Pay Increase
Outside Contract
Detroit
(LPA)-For the first time in auto history, a pay increase has been granted outside a union contract.
Chrysler Corp. has announced a ten to 15 cent hourly pay boost for 120,000 workers. 93,000 hourly paid employees will get 10 cents an hour more, 7,000 skilled workers will get 15 cents, and 20,000 salaried employees will get comparable boosts.
United Auto Workers signed contract with Chrysler last May after a bitter 100-day strike. There were no pay boosts in the contract and raises have been granted in the auto industry since that time.
Wildcat strikes have been taking place in the company's various departments, and it was expected that the pay boost would end them.
UAW Chrysler Director Norman Matthews said the union is "very proud of the agreement." Chrysler Labor Relations Director Robert Condor said the company "felt this was the thing to do because conditions have changed since the contract was signed."
