The deal was struck after a marathon session just four days before the U.S. deadline for Chrysler to ink a deal with Fiat. The UAW agreed to a new round of concessions soon after the CAW ratified its own deal with the automaker on Sunday. The changes to the UAW/Chrysler contact don't involve wage reductions, but the union has agreed to a $10.6 billion cut to the retiree health-care trust (VEBA). The UAW members have until Wednesday to approve the deal.
