Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Pleads Guilty to U.S. Labor Probe Charges

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Fiat Chrysler Automobiles pleaded guilty on Monday to charges it conspired with company executives to make illegal, lavish gifts to United Auto Workers (UAW) leaders and undermined workers’ confidence in collective bargaining.

The U.S. unit of the Italian-American automaker, which is now part of Stellantis NV, said in January it reached an agreement with U.S. prosecutors to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate the Labor Management Relations Act and pay a $30 million fine.

U.S. District Judge Paul Borman said at a court hearing he accepted Fiat Chrysler’s guilty plea and set a June 21 sentencing date.

Fiat Chrysler also agreed to three years of probation and oversight by an independent compliance monitor to ensure it follows federal labor laws.
