As per Reuters, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles admitted to the allegations it violated the Labor Management Relations Act when it colluded with company executives to make over $3.5 million in illegal payments to United Auto Workers (UAW) leaders from 2009 to 2016. The Department of Justice stated that the automaker sent lavish gifts and impaired workers’ confidence in collective bargaining.
In December last year, to resolve and end the corruption probe, the UAW agreed to admit the mistake which entangled two of UAW’s former presidents in the case. In the following month, which is January, Fiat Chrysler reached an agreement with the prosecutors to plead guilty.

Detroit A Fiat Chrysler U.S. executive admitted Monday the automaker conspired to break federal labor laws by paying more than $3.5 million in bribes to union leaders, marking a new stain for an auto industry beset with scandals in recent years involving vehicle emissions and faulty equipment implicated in hundreds of deaths.
In pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate the Labor Management Relations Act, the transatlantic automaker also agreed to pay a $30 million fine to settle a criminal investigation into auto executives breaking federal labor laws. The fine is part of a broader settlement with federal authorities that includes the appointment of an independent monitor for three years to oversee company compliance with labor laws and oversee dissolution of a joint training center the United Auto Workers operated with Fiat Chrysler, now part of Stellantis NV.
