TWINSBURG, Ohio —
Workers at the Chrysler Corp.’s
Twinsburg stamping plant Sun
day approved a contract agree
ment ending a 6-day-old strike
that shut down most assembly
lines of the nation’s number
three automaker.
Members of the United Auto
Workers union local 122 voted
804 to 293 for the contract, and
officials said workers were sche
duled to be back on the job for
the 3:30 p.m. shift Sunday.
Members of the union nego
tiating committee had unani
mously recommended approval
of the agreement, which was
voted on in nearby Cuyahoga
Falls, Ohio.
Some 3,200 workers at the
Twinsburg, Ohio stamping
plant struck Tuesday over safety
practices, job assignments, sche
duling and mandatory over
time.
The shutdown of the facility,
which makes front doors and
floors for all the company’s cars,
forced six of Chrysler’s eight
assembly plants to close because
of parts shortages and 21,000
idled autoworkers.
Chrysler Corp. and the UAW
reached a tentative contract
agreement Saturday following a
34-hour marathon negotiating
session, said Warren Davis,
director of Region II of the
UAW.
Davis said earlier Saturday
that safety issues had prolonged
the bargaining.
“There was an llth-hour
stumbling block on the part of
the company over the idea of

writing ambiguous language
into the contract,” Davis said.
“But there was union militancy
and determination to get clear-
cut language to protect the
health and safety of our mem
bership.”
Following the announcement
of the tentative settlement, a
Chrysler spokesman in Detroit
said, “We’re gratified we have an
agreement and look forward to
ratification so we can get back to
building cars.”
Chrysler then released a state
ment indicating production at
the plants it shut down earlier
this week due to the strike would
start up on a staggered basis
through Nov. 14 as sufficient
components were delivered.
Cnrysler said four of its U.S.
and Canadian assembly plants
would operate as usual Monday
— its Windsor, Ont., assembly
plant; Warren, Mich., truck
assembly plant; and St. Louis
Assembly plant Nos. 1 and 2 in
Fenton, Mo.
Chrysler indicated produc
tion at the four assembly plants
shut down earlier this week be
cause of the strike would start up
on a staggered basis as sufficient
components are delivered to
each.
Thejefferson Assembly Plant
in Detroit and Pillette Road
Truck Assembly Plant in Wind
sor was scheduled to tentatively
restart on Wednesday, with the
Newark Assembly Plant in
Newark, Del., expected to do the
same Thursday and the Belvi-
dere, Ill., Assembly Plant on
Monday.
