PROHIBITED GIFTS/PAYMNETS MADE TO UAW

Beaver County Radio

Fiat Chrysler executives lavished more than $1.5 million in gifts and prohibited payments to UAW leaders in what federal prosecutors say was an effort to give the automaker a better position at the bargaining table.

A $30,000 party for one UAW official that included $7,000 worth of cigars and $3,000 in specially labeled bottles of wine were a couple of the payoffs.

In nearly every instance, the money came through the UAW-Chrysler National Training Center using money provided by FCA. It’s been alleged by Federal prosecutors that the gifts violated the federal Labor Management Relations Act and were intended to “obtain benefits, concessions and advantages for FCA in the negotiation, implementation and administration of the collective bargaining agreements between FCA and the UAW.”
