Workers at big Chrysler plant to vote on contract

DETROIT — The United Auto Workers union faces its final challenge today as one of the largest Chrysler plants votes on whether to ratify a proposed contract with company, according to USA Today.

About 700 of the 4,000 workers at the Belvidere, Ill., assembly and stamping plant are temporary employees.

A key sticking point for many of the 45,000 workers in the USA who would be covered by the Chrysler contract is that it doesn't contain provisions to hire temporary workers as full-time employees.
