Teamsters Take Carhaul Jobs Fight to Skies Over Chrysler's Meeting

Flyover Is Part of Campaign Protesting Attempts By Chrysler To Destroy Good
Jobs

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Two airplanes will be
flying over the Chrysler Technology Centre from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. today
to protest the company's attempt to destroy the jobs of experienced,
professional drivers who deliver new cars to dealers.

Inside the building, top Chrysler management is publicly unveiling its new
auto lineup and business plan today. Chrysler, owned by Fiat, received
bailouts from U.S. taxpayers earlier this year, but is now demanding dramatic
and unsustainable cost cuts from professional carhaul companies, threatening
the thousands of good-paying, middle-class jobs in this industry that provide
family health care benefits.

The airplanes will be pulling banners that read "Fiat/Chrysler Bailout Bandit"
and "www.CarBuyersBeware.com." The web site was launched to educate consumers
about how the bailed-out auto giants are ripping off American car buyers.

Consumers are being alerted that the cars they purchase could be delivered by
drivers who do not have the appropriate experience or equipment to do the job
safely. Improper delivery practices can greatly risk damaging new vehicles.
Car buyers are still being charged mandatory "destination fees" of $900 or
more, but these fees have no relation to the actual cost of transporting a
vehicle. Those costs average $80-$120.

The Teamsters Union was founded in 1903 and represents more than 1.4 million
hardworking men and women throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto
Rico.
