Chrysler will offer union workers up to $100K to leave

[Doondoo]

DaimlerChrysler AG's Chrysler Group will offer select hourly employees up to $100,000 to leave the company as part of a restructuring plan that calls for shedding 11,000 factory jobs to help restore profits by 2008.

Chrysler will offer union workers two options: an early retirement package for those who meet certain eligibility requirements and a cash buyout for those not eligible to retire, according to a document detailing the program that was obtained by The Detroit News.

The offers will be targeted at employees working at factories in the United States that will be affected by Chrysler's plan to cut 400,000 units of production as part of its restructuring.

3. I have a better idea

Give the board of directors and upper level management a dollar each to leave. It's a lot cheaper and will do more to solve the problem.

4. Then with that money the workers can buy a Dodge-branded Chinese car!

It sounds like a great deal.
