United Auto Workers members at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV voted about 65 percent against a proposed contract that called for raises for all the employees and narrowed the pay gap for second-tier workers, sending union leaders back to negotiations with potentially less clout.
The union will notify the company that “further discussions are needed,” UAW President Dennis Williams said Thursday in an e-mailed statement, without giving a timetable. Fiat Chrysler said it was disappointed but “looks forward” to a continued dialogue.
