Chrysler storm-night decision under fire; no-confidence vote set - Rockford, IL - Rockford Register Star

United Auto Workers local that represents workers at Chrysler’s Belvidere assembly plant plans to file a grievance over the company’s decision to keep workers on the job Tuesday night.
He is also demanding that UAW members who had to stay at hotels or have vehicles towed be reimbursed.

Daniel Haerterich, who as a supervisor at the plant is not a member of UAW Local 1268, sent an e-mail directly to Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne, demanding repayment of the $265 he spent on a tow truck and repairing a window that was broken while his vehicle was being retrieved.

John Gedney, president of UAW Local 1268, sent letters to all union members Thursday outlining the union’s plans. He is also calling for a no-confidence vote next Tuesday against Chrysler’s Belvidere plant manager, Kurt Kavajecz of Roscoe.

It’s believed to be the first such vote in plant history, which dates back to 1965.
