Chrysler needs more loans, will cut more jobs


e-mail print friendly

Chrysler LLC says it needs another $5 billion to survive, and it will cut 3,000 jobs and three vehicle models as part of the restructuring plan it submitted to the U.S. government.

Chrysler originally said that it would need just another $3 billion on top of the $4 billion in government loans it received in December. But it said Tuesday it will need an extra $2 billion to survive the unprecedented decline in the auto industry.

The Auburn Hills, Mich.-based automaker says it has reached fundamental agreements on concessions with unions, dealers, suppliers and lenders to achieve the concessions required by its government loan terms.

Chrysler also says it will reduce a manufacturing shift, remove 100,000 units from production capacity and cut costs by $700 million.

"Only in America" They can apply for unemployment benefits like the rest of us who have lost our jobs.

They should be history. If you can't make money in business, you shouldn't be in business.

"Lala-Land", that not the fault of the automakers. You can blame that on the unions.

"preppykev2004", do you have a job for all those who will loose theirs? I did not hear of any of the automakers purchasing a new jet for their executives, like the banks did.

Let them file bankruptcy!!!!

Oh and FIRE GEITHNER!!!!
