“Rollover? Multiple vehicles? Doesn’t matter: they’re all going to be marked ‘COVID-19' on their death certificate.”

Okay but does the Mustang rate take pedestrians into account?

Also the first cars tend to be cheaper cars- driven by inexperienced drivers so they have a higher accident rate which would indicate more fatalities- this was explained to me why the insurance rate on my Mitsubishi Mirage was higher than my 350z

Fiat Chrysler, an automaker that made $3 billion in operating profit last year, is having 24,000 of its workers pay back an average of $500 in unemployment benefits...

“the union” would ideally be “the workers” not this ambiguous “other” that is supposed to represent them.

Terrible take; the union workers are getting their full pay regardless of the situation. They’re certainly not facing the same hardships as other people who’ve permanently lost their jobs. Meanwhile, no one is buying cars, FCA is losing billions (this isn’t last year) and 12 million could certainly go a long way in…

By the shareholders, do you mean everybody who has something other than just Social Security and coffee can of cash in the backyard for retirement? If you have a 401K, a 403B, a pension, or some types of IRAs, you better damn well hope companies are looking out for their shareholders.

Fiat Chrysler, an automaker that lost 1.8 billion last quarter, is having 24,000 of its workers pay back an average of $500 in unemployment benefits they received from the company after the U.S. government raised its unemployment allowance.

IANAL:

I understand your argument that it’s a small amount of money for the company. I think the problem might be that, if they pay them more than is obligated in the contract, it could invalidate the contract. If the contract isn’t enforced at this time, then when something really egregious happens, the UAW can say…

Might be going to offset the tend of millions they are losing this year as a result of the Corona Virus.  There are many articles about huge losses on as site called Jalopnik.  Maybe give it a read sometime. 

What grievance would the UAW have? How dare you follow the contract we signed?
