about that before they re
sponded Tuesday morning.”
The union has granted
Chrysler three sets of conces
sions to help it avoid bankruptcy
since the last strike in 1973.
Analysts estimate a combined
strike by Canadian and U.S.
workers could cost the automak
er about $60 million a week.
The local leaders — who say
pressure is mounting for a strike
— will decide what to do. Several
big Detroit-area locals said a
walkout is likely.
Thomas Miner, Chrysler vice
president for industrial rela
tions, said nothing has changed
financially for Chrysler since the
original agreement was reached
Sept. 16.
‘‘There is simply no more
money available to meet several
demands made by the union,”
Miner said.
Miner said the company’s
hourly workers now earn an av
erage of $20,000 a year and re
stored cost-of-living allowances
included in the unpopular
agreement would have given
them raises of about $20 a week
by the end of its one-year te
nure.
Workers were angered that
the pact called for raises in base
pay tied to Chrysler’s future
profits even though cost-of-
living allowances were restored.
A walkout would be ruinous
to the company, Miner said, but
it would be insanity to raise
wages when you’re losing
money.
Chrysler has a 70-day inven
tory of U.S.-built cars and Mer
rill Lynch analyst Harvey Hein-
bach said a short strike would
not cause too many problems.
Chrysler workers now earn
about $2 an hour less than their
General Motors Corp. and Ford
Motor Co. counterparts.

and others in the Bahamas and
West Germany.
The latest influx of refugees
began when West German offi
cials ordered thousands of
Bangladeshis to leave that coun
try because of the troubled eco
nomy.
More than 15,000 Bang
ladeshis illegally entered West
Germany years ago and asked
for political asylum. Until re
cently, they were allowed to re
main there and work.
But Peterson said many of the
asylum applications are now
being denied and many of the
Bangladeshis are waiting for the
opportunity to travel to south
Florida via the Bahamas instead
of returning to their impover
ished homeland.
“That (political asylum appli
cation) process in West Ger
many took anywhere up to seven
years,” he said. “But now their
requests have been denied and
instead of going back home,
they are trying to come to the
United States.
“With over 15,000 that fit this
profile, you can see that it’s
going to be a large-scale prob
lem for the U.S. government
and soutli Florida.”
Peterson said negotiations be
tween the Bahamian and U.S.
governments are under way to
try to stem the Bangladeshi flow
before it gets worse than the 300
and 400 who already have en
tered.
“We know of at least that
many who have arrived in the
Bahamas and have not returned
to West Germany,” he added.
“All indications are that the
number is going to continue to
grow.”
The first Bangladesh native
was arrested in Miami in June
and since then, 57 other natives
have been arrested in other
Florida cities.
Still others have been arrested
in cities across the country, like
Buffalo, N.Y., New York City,
Houston and Detroit. Officials
say they all entered the country
illegally through south Florida.
Peterson said it is unclear how
the Bangladeshis arrange their
trips from West Germany to the
Bahamas to Florida, but officials
say they come to this country
with job contacts.
“Apparently, they come here
with job contacts nationwide,”
said Beverly McFarland, spokes
woman for the Immigration and
Naturalization Service. “They
tend to go to industrialized areas
n6rth or west of Florida where
they ti ik they can get jobs and
where there is a support com
munity.”
