Chrysler might not be long for Canada.
In its continual quest to trim operations the big C is presently focused on Canada, where, in addition to a $2.3 dollar loan (we hope that’s in Canadian dollars) the automaker is seeking concessions from the Canadian Auto Workers Union.
Chrysler LLC is studying how it could pull operations out of Canada if it doesn’t win wage and benefit concessions from the country’s auto union that are considerably larger than those given to General Motors Corp.
Chrysler officials are talking to leaders of the Canadian Auto Workers union today to see whether the union will be flexible in terms of changing its contract, said a person involved in the negotiations who asked not be named because the talks are private.
We aren’t hopeful.

$2.30? That’s actually a pretty reasonable request.
screw lazy unions. i will not pay for their luxurious lifestyles of fishing trips and bowling leagues
2.3 loonies? That’s just ducky.
$2.30 dollars?! Alright!!!
Betting 4 more people say that before it’s changed. No, wait….8.
Nice attention to detail. I can see why you “drifted away” now.
Too bad it looks like you couldn’t stick around long enough to make it up to the partner circle. You could have had a lot to post about regarding tax treatment of carried interest but I’m guessing we will be spared since you don’t have a vested interest there.
Here’s a fin. Keep the change. Don’t spend it all at once.

Take off! It’s a beauty way to go!
“The big C is presently focused on Canada”?
