Chrysler's $1.7 billion profit nets workers $2,250 bonuses

By Bryce G. Hoffman

Chrysler Group LLC reported Wednesday a net profit of almost $1.7 billion for 2012 and fourth-quarter earnings of $378 million.

That was an eightfold improvement over the $183 million the company earned in 2011 and offered further proof of the automaker's turnaround.

It was even better than the $734 million the company would have made in 2011 if it had not paid back its loans from the U.S. and Canadian governments early, and it exceeded the company's previous projections.

CEO Sergio Marchionne said hourly UAW workers will receive profit-sharing checks averaging $2,250; Ford on Tuesday announced its average profit sharing will be $8,300. Salaried Chrysler workers also will get bonuses.

Sweet, another company bailed out at Americans' expense so the profits can be shipped overseas, back to Italy in this case.

Hey doofus, the story is about all those decent paying jobs that were preserved and how these solidly middle class workers got big bonuses.

You are clueless.

In a regulatory filing dated 22 July 2011, the Michigan-based automaker reported that Fiat held a 53.5% interest (fully diluted). Fiat and Chrylser have both stated that they expect that interest to reach 58.5% by the end of 2011 as result of achievement of the third of the three performance objectives.[40] In 5 January 2012 Fiat released press info that the ownership has increased to 58.5%.[41] The stake was further increased to 61.8% in July 2012.[42]

It would seem that Fiat's Chrysler division is in Michigan.

Another Slewism. Anyone who thinks the bailout was a waste of money hates unions. Anyone who thinks the bailout was a good expenditure of over $250,000 per job saved or created is a good American. My gay hubby is really a financial whiz. Just ask him.

Stuck in Reverse, Detroit Edges Closer to Bankruptcy Published: Tuesday, 29 Jan 2013 | 1:58 AM ET




Jonathan K. Li | CNBC
Bentley GT Speed ConvertibleAt the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, luxury was in the air. Pricey new Bentleys and Maseratis glittered - including a Maserati 2014 Quattroporte with a $132,000 price tag; U.S. Cabinet Secretaries and dignitaries rubbed shoulders; and many of the well-heeled attendees ponied up for a $300-a-ticket black-tie charity ball.

But in a city that is slowly dying, the glitz didn't extend much beyond the Cobo Center exhibition hall.

The story of Detroit's decline is decades old: Its tax revenue and population have shrunk and labor costs have remained out of whack. But the city's budget problems have deepened to such an extent that it could run out of cash in a matter of weeks or months and ultimately be forced into what would be the largest-ever Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy filing in the United States.

Frustrated by the lack of concrete progress, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder, a Republican, last month appointed a team to scour the city's books. The audit could result in a state takeover of Detroit's finances through the appointment of an emergency financial manager. Such a manager, who would seize control of the city's checkbook, could then propose federal bankruptcy court as the best option.

Detroit? Renaissance? I guess for a group of monikers who think Obama is doing a great job, Detroit probably is in a Renaissance.

Lookie! Lookie! My Slewsie is getting flustered. Double posting to correct your spelling errors is not a good thing Slewsie. Try using that Spell Checker button on your ipad. You do have an ipad, don't you?

Daily Horoscope for May 21

Gemini

A little give and take goes a long way, so try to be flexible and malleable when dealing with others. It will also pay to ask people what they think rather than to make sweeping assumptions on their behalf, because you could be in for a surprise. A child may have some interesting information for you, or they could make a statement that really sets you thinking.
