Filed under: Government/Legal, Plants/Manufacturing, Chrysler, LLC., FIAT
A court filing by the legal firm Jones Day estimates that 38,500 Chrysler workers will lose their jobs if the
bankrupt automaker fails to quickly form an alliance with Fiat SpA and is forced to liquidate. In addition, if the deal with Fiat is rejected Chrysler LLC employees will lose $9.8 billion in benefits and $2 billion in pension payments, according to the legal team.
"Time is of the essence," said attorney Corinne Ball. The lawyers, in court seeking to organize the company's 25 affiliates into a one bankruptcy proceeding, stressed in yesterday's so-called first-day pleadings that if Chrysler dissolves, "it will mean the end of an iconic, 83-year-old American car company."
