Chrysler, UAW settle after short walkout

Chrysler and the UAW, after a 6- 1/2 hour strike involving 34,000 workers, reached a tentative agreement on a new labor contract Wednesday, dramatically easing tensions throughout a U.S. auto industry bracing for the impact of a second major work stoppage against a Detroit carmaker in 2 1/2 weeks, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Details of the tentative deal were not immediately made public, as is tradition with UAW negotiations, though it was described as sticking with the pattern set by the landmark agreement reached Sept. 26 between the union and General Motors.

That deal, officially ratified Wednesday by rank-and-file members, ended a two-day strike against GM.
