According to an interview given by Fiat Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne, the Italian automaker is prepared to walk on the alliance with Chrysler unless the Union agree to a wage cut that would put them on equal footing with Japanese companies building cars in the US.
That apparently is not happening.

Sticky situation. Story printed by The Wall Street JournalA week ago, talks between Chrysler, Fiat and U.S. and Canadian unions hit a wall after the parties failed to agree on potential pay cuts, according to the person familiar with the matter. Chrysler and Fiat want the UAW to bring American wages into line with the lower salaries paid by Japanese automakers that operate plants in the U.S. Chrysler and Fiat are having an even tougher time negotiating pay cuts with the CAW union in Canada, where Chrysler workers earn about $19 more in hourly wages than their American counterparts, the person said.
