An estimated 10,000 workers in supplier plants and auto dealerships will be affect- etl soon. Imp t of the walkout on the country's economy ivas reflected in a decline of the stock market, partly attributed to the Chrysler situation. Here is the core of the dispute: Chrysler" is willing to grant a pension plan allowing workers to retire at 65, after 24 years service. on $100 a month, in- cluding social security benefits. lt also would finance an improv- ed health and welfare program. The company insists, however, that it retain complete control of the pension set-tip, making pay- ments as they fall due. It also wants the present contract ex- tended for five frcars. reopens-bio annually only on wages. The union demands a voice in pension payment administration. It is holding out for a trust fund, run jointly by the union and company, into which Chrysler would pay a set amount for each manhour of work. Pension payments would be drawn from this fund. Both sides agree that the trust. fund arrangement would cost the company more in the next few years since it would be laying aside money for pensions far in advance.
