Today’s Objectives
5
In 2009 the Company and the Union recognized that a consolidated skilled trades structure with two (2) skilled classifications was essential to meet the terms of the Federal Loan and Security (LSA). Implementation of this understanding resulted in the development of a joint Skilled Trades Rationalization strategy that included but was not limited to the following actions:•The Consolidation of base pay rates to the highest existing rate in the new classification.•The joint development and implementation of a skill assessment process to determine the base knowledge of skilled trades employees and identify individual training requirements.•The joint development of both on-line and classroom training to facilitate skilled trades development in a manner consistent with World Class Manufacturing (WCM) methodology.

The parties recognize the need to jointly support and set the direction for a cultural transformation from the traditional scope of work practices to one that will be considered World Class. To assist in this change the parties agree and are committed to training, benchmarking, establishing skilled trades work teams and other actions as the parties deem appropriate in order to accelerate this cultural transformation.During 2011 Negotiations, the parties discussed the merits of additional classifications to more effectively align the skill sets of our workforce. As a result of these discussions, the parties agree that effective with the 2011 Agreement, skilled employees will be assigned to one (1) of three (3) Work Groups and into one (1) of five (5) classifications. No lines of demarcation will exist within the respective Work Groups. Skilled employees will only be assigned to job assignments that they can safely perform.
Skilled Trades Rationalization Letter
7
The Tool & Die Technician Work Group will consist of the Tool & Die Maker classification for the following rationalized trades – Die Maker, Die Maker – Die Cast, Tool Maker and Tool Maker – Jig & Fixture Builder.
The Electrical Technician Work Group will consist of the Electrical classification for the following rationalized trades – Electrician and Repairer – Welder Equipment.
Skilled Trades Rationalization Letter
8
The Mechanical Technician Work Group will consist of the Machine Repair, Millwright and Pipefitter classifications for the following rationalized trades – Millwright, Millwright / Welder, Sheet Metal Worker, Welder Maintenance, Pipefitter, Pipefitter – Plumber, Pipefitter / Spray Gun Repairer and Machine Repair. The Mechanical Technician Work Group will be structured into the following three (3) classifications:•Machine Repair•Millwright – to include Millwright/Welder, Sheet Metal Worker & Welder Maintenance•Pipefitter – to include Pipefitter and Pipefitter/Spray Gun Repairer
For Overtime opportunities within the Mechanical Technician Work Group where the overtime list for one classification is exhausted, and additional employees are required, employees from the other two classifications who have demonstrated proficiency to perform the available work as identified on their radar charts will be offered the overtime work in line of low hours.
Skilled Trades Rationalization Letter
9
The Mechanical Technician Work Group (Continued)
Employees in the rationalized classifications identified in each work group above will remain on their current seniority list for layoff, recall and seniority purposes until they obtain three (3) years related experience in accordance with Section S-3(C) of the Supplemental Agreement. The parties recognize that the related training began on January 1, 2011 with the skill assessments, on-line and TTC courses and this training will be completed as expeditiously as possible based on individual training plans as outlined below, but no later than September 14, 2014.
Skilled Trades Rationalization Letter
10
The five (5) classifications will assume responsibilities of both the rationalized and eliminated classifications and the training will be developed and implemented accordingly. The assumption of responsibilities within the five (5) classification structure along with the elimination of all other classifications is consistent with the cost reductions also identified in the LSA submission.
Skilled trades employees in the Rationalization Program will receive a multi-dimensional scope of training to include on-line training, technical training and on-the-job (OJT) to develop their skill sets and capabilities to perform work in a safe manner. Training will be held at various in-state and out-of-state locations including the Technical Training Center.
Skilled Trades Rationalization Letter
11
The work processes for on-the-job training have been agreed upon between the International UAW, Skilled Trades Department and Corporate Union Relations. OJT will be provided by employees working together and actively assisting each other comparable to the Apprentice Program concept. Each employee will be responsible for recording their training plan with the assistance of their Supervisor and the Skilled LTTC Representative. Training will be prioritized based upon employee requirements and operational needs consistent with WCM. Training plans will be filtered to address employee training needs as identified by their radar charts to eliminate their skill gaps and to align with current plant work assignment. Employees upon initiation of their training plan, can simultaneously begin their OJT training and can cross functionally apply their learning's.
Skilled Trades Rationalization Letter
12
Any concerns raised locally will be addressed between the Union and Company representatives. Further, during periods of overtime periods it is agreed and understood that employees will perform any work within their Work Groups that they can safely perform. With this expansion of job duties, Management will ensure that the tools required to complete the work assignment(s) will be available to the employee.
Skilled Trades Rationalization Letter
13
The following classifications are not impacted by this Agreement and remain separate and distinct.
#5703 Boiler Repair, #5706 Repair – Compressor, #5905 Boiler Operator, #5920 Compressor Operator, #5927 Engineer – Steam, #5929 Energy Center Operator, #5942 Sewage Disposal Plant Operator, #5654 Mechanic-Refrigeration & Air Conditioning (employees not associated with the Energy Center will be classified into “other mechanical” classification grouping), #5693 Powerhouse & Maintenance, #5714 Mechanic-Gas & Electric Jitney, #5717 Mechanic-Gas & Electric Jitney, # 5718 Mechanic-Gas & Electric Jitney, #5719 Mechanic-Gas & Electric Jitney, #5721 Mechanic-Gas & Electric Jitney, #5728 Mechanic-Gas & Electric Jitney, #5759 Mechanic Truck – Tractor, #5762 Mechanic - Diesel
Skilled Trades Rationalization Letter
14
In addition, all other skilled trade classifications have been eliminated. New entrants to the Electrical, Mechanical or Tool & Die Work Groups must have eight (8) years of experience in a recognized trade or have graduated from a bona fide apprentice program. Employees from the eliminated classifications who meet these qualifications will be reclassification as a Journey or J-1 related trade in accordance with Section S-3(C).
All other ancillary skilled trades functions are beyond the new scope of work (i.e. construction, high voltage projects) will be sourced to a third party and all provisions or past practices regarding contractor matching are eliminated in these cases. As part of the existing contractor review process, similarly skilled work that is contracted out will not exceed the one for one match.
Skilled Trades Rationalization Letter
15
Aligning all manufacturing resources to properly implement the provisions of this letter is paramount to a successful transition. Accordingly, within sixty (60) days of ratification of the 2011 Agreement, a meeting will be held by representatives of the International, UAW and Corporate Union Relations to communicate the commitments of the letter. In attendance for the Company: Plant Manager, Human Resources Manager, the manufacturing Engineering Manager and the Maintenance Area Manager; for the Union: Local President, Plant Shop Chairperson, Skilled Trades Committeeperson and the Skilled LTTC Trainer.

Best Practices: Phase II Of www.toolingu.com/chrysler
46
47
• Emotional Topic – too many surprises of contractors at the door without advance notification (Examples)
• Regular Meetings - Survey revealed plants meeting regularly – weekly / bi-weekly
• Meeting Minutes - need to be kept and distributed, a copy sent to Corporate and the International Union
• Utilize Letter 50 – Survey by Outside Contracting Review Team revealed that only about 50% of plants use the template
• Don’t confuse “notification” with “agreement”

State of Michigan Electrical Licensing
54
• Public Act 217 requires that all individuals performing work defined in this Act be licensed in the State of Michigan as either an Apprentice, Journeyman or Master Electrician.
• On August 1st 2010, the State sent out a licensing rule change that now requires all individuals who are licensed as Apprentices to certify that they either are currently enrolled in a United States Department of Labor (USDOL) approved training program, or have completed one.
• In 2004 Chrysler started to license our Electricians according to State law.
• Recent Analysis of State and local licenses indicates that over 315 out of ~600 individuals currently on roll working as Electricians are licensed.
State of Michigan Electrical Licensing
55
• Current Electrical Apprentices who do not meet the new requirement will either have to enroll in 144 class hours of training per year to renew, or their licenses will be suspended.
• Chryslers Technical Training Center (TTC) is a USDOL approved training center.
• The TTC has also developed a USDOL approved training program for an entire apprenticeship program that has six classes being taught at the TTC and eleven classes taught outside the facility.
• The direct impact of this trade reclassification in Michigan is that in four plant locations, i.e., SSP, WSP, WTAP and Pilot, the Weld Equipment Repairmen (WER) will be merged with Electricians and be renamed Electrical Technicians.
Skilled Trades Rationalization Letter

• Those who went through a USDOL Electrical apprenticeship will not be required to take four years of classes and will be able to register immediately and take their test in four years.
• Those who did not complete a USDOL Electrical Apprenticeship will be required to take classes and register for four years with the State before they can take the test.
