Gettelfinger indicates simultaneous Ford, Chrysler talks

With a tentative agreement in hand with General Motors, the UAW expects to move quickly to lock in similar labor contracts with Chrysler and Ford, according to the Detroit Free Press.

“I think the pattern bargaining is still very much in play,” UAW President Ron Gettelfinger said this morning on WJR-AM radio. “We expect this will basically be the same agreement.” He said there could be some modifications for the individual automakers but “for the most part it will be a pattern agreement.”

Gettelfinger suggested that the UAW may try to finish up talks with Chrysler and Ford simultaneously.
