Thank you, Fiat
Although Chrysler is now owned mostly by the U.S. government and the United Auto Workers union, management decisions are left to minority owner and Fiat boss Sergio Marchionne.
Auto workers in Kokomo gave Fiat high marks for a new management plan that forces employees to become familiar with many different jobs inside the plant instead of specializing in one area.
Although resisted at first, the workers say it will ultimately increase production because anyone can cover for a sick employee.
