[MBZ] More News from Chrysler
Dear Employees, Today is the day that we expect the U.S. government to announce whether Chrysler has satisfied requirements to go ahead with our proposed global alliance with Fiat and qualify for additional federal loans. Following the Administration’s announcement, we will communicate to you further details on what the decision means for us. Yesterday, UAW members voted to ratify a new labor agreement that will substantially improve Chrysler’s competitive position. We appreciate the sacrifices made by represented employees to aid our restructuring effort. This was the latest example of how so many of our constituents – employees, dealers, suppliers, lenders, Daimler and Cerberus have stepped up during this critical period to help ensure our viability. With the guidance of the U.S. Treasury, we also continue to work with our lenders to establish a level of debt that would be serviceable under the proposed Fiat alliance. The agreement of all lenders continues to be a critical factor in our ability to meet government requirements and as such, remains our focus in the successful completion of our restructuring efforts. On March 30, the U.S. Treasury announced that all Chrysler constituents would need to make significant concessions and that our company needed to conclude a strategic alliance with Fiat as a requirement of our government loans. In an extraordinary month of the Chrysler family pulling together – and with the assistance of the U.S. government as well as the Canadian federal and Ontario provincial governments – we have made great strides toward an alliance with Fiat. If successfully completed, this alliance will help sustain our business and will help bring exciting new products to our showrooms, supporting our mission to deliver the cars and trucks customers want to buy, will enjoy driving and will want to buy again. Thank you again for your tireless efforts during this extraordinary time, and your dedication to ensuring Chrysler’s future success.

Re: [MBZ] More News from Chrysler
there was once a radio repairman in california who got into building amplifiers and guitars. he wasn't a musician, but he was in constant consultation with them. when a musician broke one of his products, he did an autopsy and fixed the weakness, returning to the product to the musician with the instructions to see if he can figure out how to break it now. this was american quality and it was the best in the world in the mid sixties, the big corporate interests came by with a seven figure offer and the radio repairman took the loot. the corporation eliminated or marginalized all the guys who built this quality company and brought in exectutives from Ford to run the show. all kinds of brilliant ideas from these executives. for example, if a circuit sounds great but one that sounds like utter crap is $2 cheaper to make, you replace the former with the latter. if the right part costs 12 cents, but one that can be rigged to sort of work only costs 10 cents, you replace the former with the latter. and why have any quality control when you can let your dealers sort all that out instead? so the martinis and bonuses flowed as a great american insitution was reduced to trash. my question is why do i still want these guys around? let them die already.

(PBGC) have signed an agreement under which Daimler’s remaining percent share of Chrysler will be redeemed, and Daimler will forgive repayment of previous loans extended to Chrysler * This agreement facilitates our proposed alliance with Fiat and represents another step on our road to meeting U.S. government requirements by the April 30 deadline * Daimler will pay $600 million into Chrysler’s pension plans over the next three years with the first $200 million payment being made on the date of the execution of definitive agreements, as well as $200 million in each of 2010 and 2011.

[MBZ] More news from Chrysler
Dear Employees, As speculation and media attention during this challenging time for Chrysler increases, we understand that frequent communications is critical to help maintain a clear understanding of the facts of our situation. As we work diligently to finalize our alliance with Fiat and restructure our business by the government’s April 30 deadline, I want to provide you a daily update on our progress, to the maximum extent possible. Here is a summary of recent developments: We are pleased that we have reached a new labor agreement with the CAW. Over the weekend, the agreement was ratified by 87% of CAW workers, and we would like to thank our employees for their support. The CAW agreement was a critical condition for the governments of Canada and the Province of Ontario to certify our restructuring plan and provide an additional loan to Chrysler. We expect to meet all requirements to qualify for this assistance. We are also pleased that we have reached a tentative agreement with the leadership of the UAW. This provisional agreement provides the framework needed to ensure manufacturing competitiveness and helps to meet the guidelines set forth by the U. S. Treasury Department. The details will be released following the completion of the UAW ratification process. Daimler AG has previously announced its intention to divest its ownership share in Chrysler. Cerberus Capital Management and Daimler are working through this process, and we are confident that this will be resolved. Let me assure you that your entire leadership team is totally focused on completing the necessary transactions and qualifying for the appropriate financial support of the U.S. and Canadian governments. We are pleased with the progress made with both the CAW and the UAW, and as we work with the other constituents, we will continue to keep you updated. We appreciate your continued dedication and the support you’ve shown during these demanding times. The emails of encouragement that you have sent us are especially appreciated. Know that as we begin this very important week, our number one priority is to preserve Chrysler and the livelihood of the thousands of people who depend on its success. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do as we work together to revitalize this great company and set it on a successful path.
