ooooold music





...But that's just scratching the surface of what's inside the enormous archive. Lomax's work extended far beyond the Deep South, into other areas and cultures of America, the Caribbean, Europe and Asia. "He believed that all cultures should be looked at on an even playing field," his daughter Anna Lomax Wood told NPR. "Not that they're all alike. But they should be given the same dignity, or they had the same dignity and worth as any other."...

claudio's trip 1

We start traveling again. Departure with Emirates, via Dubai. Destination Vietnam where everyone has gone, except us. Asia is not my passion but better than a kick in the mouth. I will inform you of everything, both of the places, of the people, and of the traveling companions who are in part those with whom we shared Argentina and Chile. Now excuse me but I have to pack.

General Motors sues FCA claiming corrupt bargaining with the UAW


wxyz DETROIT

Updated: 8:43 PM, Nov 20, 2019




(WXYZ) — General Motors has filed a lawsuit against Fiat Chysler Automobiles claiming that FCA engaged in corrupt bargaining with the UAW.

According to a press release from GM, that corrupt bargaining came out in "clear admissions of wrongdoing made by former FCA executives who have pleaded guilty in an ongoing federal corruption probe."

The lawsuit, filed in Detroit federal court on Wednesday, is against the company and former FCA executives. It also mentions late FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne.

One of the major claims in the lawsuit is that Marchionne authorized more than $1 million in bribes to the UAW which GM claims was an attempt to force a merger with GM.

GM alleges that from 2009 through at least 2017, "FCA group, through a pattern of racketeering activity, acquired and maintained an interest in and/or control of the UAW, and in particular its decisions and actions regarding CBAs," which are collective bargaining agreements.

"FCA was the clear sponsor of pervasive wrongdoing, paying millions of dollars in bribes to obtain benefits, concessions, and advantages in the negotiation, implementation, and administration of labor agreements over time," a press release from GM reads.

“This lawsuit is intended to hold FCA accountable for the harm its actions have caused our company and to ensure a level playing field going forward,” GM Executive Vice President and General Counsel Craig Glidden said in a release.

In the suit, it includes mention of the guilty plea from former FCA VP of employee relations, Alphons Iacobelli, as well as other former employees who have taken plea deals including Jerome Durden and Michael Brown.

GM also claims that Marchionne authorized bribes to General Holiefield, who oversaw the relationship between the UAW and FCA.

"Alphons Iacobelli has admitted to this scheme and currently is in prison for these illegal acts. Michael Brown, Director of Employee Relations at FCA and Co-Director of the NTC, likewise has admitted to this scheme. Marchionne authorized these bribes, and additional things of value to UAW officials, so that FCA could more effectively compete and thrive against GM and, as detailed below, ultimately attempt to force a merger with GM," the lawsuit reads.

General Motors claims that through these bribes, Fiat Chrysler corrupted the implementation of the 2009 collective bargaining agreement with the union, as well as the negotiation and implementations of the CBAs in 2011 and 2015.

According to the lawsuit, GM will use any damages that it recovers from the suit "for investment in the United States to grow jobs and for the benefit of its employees."

FCA released the following statement: "We are astonished by this filing, both its content and its timing. We can only assume this was intended to disrupt our proposed merger with PSA as well as our negotiations with the UAW. We intend to vigorously defend against this meritless lawsuit and pursue all legal remedies in response to it."

In a statement, the UAW said, "“The UAW is focused on continuing to implement ethics reforms and greater financial controls to make sure the misconduct which has been uncovered will never happen again. Mr. Iacobelli worked for both FCA and General Motors, and he is currently in prison for his crimes, which include the misuse of Joint Program funds. As to the collective bargaining agreements negotiated with FCA while Iacobelli was an FCA manager, we are confident that the terms of those contracts were not affected by Iacobelli’s misconduct, nor that of any UAW officials involved in the misuse of Joint Program funds at FCA. Those contracts, which were ultimately ratified by our membership, were negotiated with the involvement of both local and international representatives and the process had multiple layers of checks and balances to ensure their integrity. That said, the fact that these issues can cause doubt about the contracts is regrettable. The UAW leadership is absolutely committed to making whatever changes are necessary to ensure on our end the misconduct that has been uncovered will never happen again.”
