Chrysler LLC and the United Auto Workers union reached a tentative labor agreement on Wednesday, ending a strike against the No. 3 U.S. automaker just over six hours after it began.
The UAW said in a statement it was calling off the strike by some 37,000 workers at 20 of 25 Chrysler plants in the United States, effective immediately. The union said the tentative agreement would protect wages, pensions and health care for UAW-represented Chrysler workers and retirees. Full story.
