DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler Automobiles US has agreed to plead guilty and pay a $30 million fine for a corruption scandal at the union that represents its factory workers, authorities said Wednesday.
Company representatives gave more than $3.5 million in cash and other things of value to senior officials at the United Auto Workers, federal prosecutors in Detroit said as they charged FCA with conspiracy from 2009 to 2016.

The corruption was very widespread, reaching the top of the UAW and FCA for years.
The money spent by corrupt FCA employees was a slap in the face to the honest employees, and the company stockholders and customers.
The money spent and squandered by the corrupt UAW officials was also a slap in the face of the honest, dues-paying UAW employees.
Anyone remember the urging of high-level, corrupt UAW officials, to embrace, “solidarity and sacrifice” - especially when the (now convicted) former UAW President called a crippling strike against GM in 2019?
I’m amazed that there has been very little public outcry from honest members of the UAW. Perhaps they are satisfied with their contracts, and see the corruption as the “cost of doing business?
It runs deeper than slaps, their intentions was to force a GM FCA merger.
To be a union member means, you like getting money you have not earned, that is why there is no outcry.
