UAW strike?
Rejuvenated Chrysler Carp, facing problems with union
Associated Press
HIGHLAND PARK, Mich. — Since its spec
tacular recovery from near-bankruptcy, Chrysler
Corp. has portrayed itself as leaner and quicker
than other automakers, better able to react to the
fickle tastes of the motoring public.
The No. 3 domestic carmaker, which em
ployed 168,000 people in the early 1970s com
pared with U.S. employment of about 95,000 to
day, owes much of its leanness to the
computerization and automation that swept the
industry at the same time the company was pull
ing its feet from the grave.
But Chrysler got lean in another big way dur
ing its uncertain years, 1977 to 1983 — by tossing
factories overboard.
Two of its nine U.S. car and truck assembly
plants were permanently closed. Perhaps more
significant, Chrysler shut down 14 of its 39 auto
motive parts plants.
The matter could become a strike issue when
the UAW contract, covering nearly 70,000 U.S.
blue-collar workers, expires Oct. 15, the union
said.
Marc Stepp, the union’s chief bargainer, said
Chrysler now makes 30 percent of the parts for
the cars it sells; the rest are made by other com
panies in the United States and abroad.
The federal government required cutbacks be
fore bailing out Chrysler during the dark days,
The United Auto Workers, bar
gaining with a healthy Chrysler for
the first time in nearly a decade, has
skinned back enough and the union
will stand for no more.
— United Auto Workers
and they helped the company straighten its bal
ance sheet, Stepp said.
But he said company Chairman Lee lacocca
has made the union s problem worse by continu
ing to seek outside suppliers and by using Chrys
ler profits to finance research and development
by outside companies.
Chrysler hasn’t responded to Stepp about the
subcontracting of parts work, known as outsourc
ing.
However, the company confirmed that Chrysl-
er’s chief negotiator, Thomas Miner, would sit on
the company’s outsourcing subcommittee, across
the table from Stepp.
It is unusual for the top negotiators to sit on
the various subcommittees that bargain the na
tional contract in piecemeal fashion. But Stepp
said last week the move reflected “a considerable
amount of anger . . . among our membersasii*
result of this corporation’s outsourcing»
ities.”
Chrysler has been vocal on its targetedmajo;
issue — work rules and job classifications.
The company wants to shed the strict sjilti:
of rules prohibiting workers from doingjobsie
aside for other workers. Chrysler complainsit[
saddled with more than 100 job classihcationst
its assembly plants and more than 500 throujti
out the corporation.
Despite the plant closings, Chrysler retaie
some of the oldest brick and mortar in the at
industry.
Chrysler wants to make those old factor®
more efficient by reducing the number ofjd
classes to eight or fewer.
The Japanese usually have two or three jot
classes in their plants, allowing for a smal;
workforce with employees who can do a vane
of jobs. Stepp has said that reducing the numkc
of job classifications at Chrysler would allow ih
company to eliminate thousands ofjobs.
Pay is believed to be a lesser issue. Chtysle
workers, during the bad years, received m®
than $1 an hour less than their counterpanii

HARVARD, Mass. — With the
touch of a lever, “E.T.” director Ste
ven Spielberg on Sunday inaugu
rated a search for real-life extrater
restrials, switching on a giant
antenna that astronomers hope will
detect radio signals sent from outer
space.
“This marks the beginning of a
really powerful search that has a de
cent cnance of finding something,"
said Paul Horowitz, a Harvard Uni
versity professor who designed the
84-foot communications dish, part
of the most powerful radio-scanning
system ever used to hunt for aliens.
The dish, capable of scanning 8.4
million radio channels, marks an es
calation of such efforts by The Plan
etary Society, which scans the skies
for signs of life from its Oak Ridge
Observatory in Harvard, a small
town northwest of Boston.
Since 1983, the space-watching
group had been searching with a
simpler scanner, which picked up
only 180,000 radio channels.
T he new antenna, known as Pro
ject Meta, was built with the help of a
$100,000 grant from Spielberg, the
science fiction filmmaker whose
credits include “Close Encounters of
the Third Kind” and “E.T.,” which
featured a lovable alien.
Spielberg whisked into Harvard
just long enough to flip on the an
tenna with the help of his infant son,
Max. The communications dish
hummed as it rotated skyward.
“It’s the most sophisticated search
for extraterrestrial intelligence in
human history,” said Carl Sagan, the
popular science writer and president
of the Planetary Society, who joined
Spielberg, Horowitz and other astro
nomers at the observatory to ded
icate the antenna. Afterwards, they
toasted the event with champagne.
Horowitz said the antenna was ca
pable of reaching to the edges of the
known galaxy. If there is life on
other planets, he said, “this kind of
communications system can do the
job.” He said he will visit the obser
vatory once every two weeks to check
on the project.
The scanner, which took two
years to construct, is more versatile
than its predecessor and includes
changes that should increase the
chances of raising alien messages.
The antenna is hooked up to a com
puter room, which records all radio
signals emitted from space.
The previous system had turned
up only the radio waves that all plan
ets naturally produce, but im
provements in the scanner keep him
noping for concrete results, Horo
witz said.
He said astronomers will be
looking for a narrow radio signal to
indicate other life forms.
“We’re looking for planetary sys
tems around stars,” he said. “There
are more than 1 million stars, so the
cheapest way to look at a million
stars is to look at everything at once.”
Because of his involvement in the
project, Spielberg said he’d be happy
if the antenna was the first to pick up
signs of life beyond Earth.
“I just thought it was time to get
involved in some science-reality,” ne
said. “I can’t write the outcome of
this. I just hope that there is more
floating around up there than Jackie
Gleason reruns.”
Parachutists killed
in crash after takeoff
Associated Press
JENKINSBURG, Ga. — An air
plane filled with parachutists
crashed on takeoff from a private
rural airstrip Sunday afternoon, kill
ing all 17 people aboard, officials
said.
The single-engine Cessna 208
Caravan crashed in a pasture, said
Federal Aviation Administration
spokesman Roger Myers.
“The airplane was apparently
climbing out after taking off and a
witness stated that the engine
stalled,” said Preston Hicks, a Na
tional Transportation Safety Board
investigator who was on the scene.
Grady Wyatt, who lives near the
crash site about one mile from the
West Wind Sport Parachute Center,
was out in his yard when the plane
flew over just above the treetops.
“The plane came up and looked
like it could hardly stay up,” Wyatt
said. “A few minutes after that, I
heard a crash, what sounded like a
crash.”
The plane came to rest on its back,
its cockpit destroyed but the wheels
intact, said Butts County Fire Chief
W.L. Vaughn.
“The first report to us was that
there were 17 persons on board and
all were injured fatally,” Myers said.
Rescue workers spent two hours
pulling bodies from the wreckage,
which were taken to a National
Guard Armory in nearby Jackson,
said Hicks.
NTSB Chairman Jim Burnett was
en route to Georgia from Washing
ton, D.C., to take charge of the in
vestigation into the cause of the
crash, said NTSB spokesman Ira
Furman.
