Skilled Trades Rationalization Letter
In 2009 the Company and the Union recognized
that a consolidated skilled trades structure with
two (2) skilled classifications was essential to
meet the terms of the Federal Loan and Security
(LSA). Implementation of this understanding
resulted in the development of a joint Skilled
Trades Rationalization strategy that included but
was not limited to the following actions:
• The Consolidation of base pay rates to the
highest existing rate in the new
classification.
• The joint development and implementation
of a skill assessment process to determine
the base knowledge of skilled trades
employees and identify individual training
requirements.
• The joint development of both on-line and
classroom training to facilitate skilled trades
development in a manner consistent with
World Class Manufacturing (WCM)
methodology.
5
Skilled Trades Rationalization Letter
The parties recognize the need to jointly
support and set the direction for a cultural
transformation from the traditional scope of
work practices to one that will be considered
World Class. To assist in this change the parties
agree and are committed to training,
benchmarking, establishing skilled trades work
teams and other actions as the parties deem
appropriate in order to accelerate this cultural
transformation.
During 2011 Negotiations, the parties
discussed the merits of additional
classifications to more effectively align the skill
sets of our workforce. As a result of these
discussions, the parties agree that effective
with the 2011 Agreement, skilled employees
will be assigned to one (1) of three (3) Work
Groups and into one (1) of five (5)
classifications. No lines of demarcation will
exist within the respective Work Groups.
Skilled employees will only be assigned to job
assignments that they can safely perform.
6
Skilled Trades Rationalization Letter
The Tool & Die Technician Work Group
will consist of the Tool & Die Maker
classification for the following
rationalized trades – Die Maker, Die
Maker – Die Cast, Tool Maker and Tool
Maker – Jig & Fixture Builder.
The Electrical Technician Work Group
will consist of the Electrical classification
for the following rationalized trades –
Electrician and Repairer – Welder
Equipment.
7
Skilled Trades Rationalization Letter
The Mechanical Technician Work Group will
consist of the Machine Repair, Millwright and
Pipefitter classifications for the following
rationalized trades – Millwright, Millwright /
Welder, Sheet Metal Worker, Welder
Maintenance, Pipefitter, Pipefitter – Plumber,
Pipefitter / Spray Gun Repairer and Machine
Repair. The Mechanical Technician Work
Group will be structured into the following
three (3) classifications:
•Machine Repair
•Millwright – to include Millwright/Welder,
Sheet Metal Worker & Welder Maintenance
•Pipefitter – to include Pipefitter and
Pipefitter/Spray Gun Repairer
For Overtime opportunities
within the Mechanical Technician
Work
Group where the overtime list for one
classification is exhausted, and additional
employees are required, employees from the
other two classifications who have
demonstrated proficiency to perform the
available work as identified on their radar
charts will be offered the overtime work in
line of low hours.
8
Skilled Trades Rationalization Letter
The Mechanical Technician Work Group (Continued)
Employees in the rationalized classifications identified in
each work group above will remain on their current
seniority list for layoff, recall and seniority purposes until
they obtain three (3) years related experience in
accordance with Section S-3(C) of the Supplemental
Agreement. The parties recognize that the related
training
began on January 1, 2011 with the skill
assessments, on-line and TTC courses and this training
will be completed as expeditiously as possible based on
individual training plans as
outlined below, but
no later than September 14, 2014.
9
Skilled Trades Rationalization Letter
The five (5) classifications will assume
responsibilities of both the rationalized and
eliminated classifications and the training will
be developed and implemented accordingly.
The assumption of responsibilities within the
five (5) classification structure along with the
elimination of all other classifications is
consistent with the cost reductions also
identified in the LSA submission.
Skilled trades employees in the
Rationalization Program will receive a multidimensional scope of training to include online training, technical training and on-thejob (OJT) to develop their skill sets and
capabilities to perform work in a safe manner.
Training will be held at various in-state and
out-of-state locations including the Technical
Training Center.
10
Skilled Trades Rationalization Letter
The work processes for on-the-job training have
been agreed upon between the International UAW,
Skilled Trades Department and Corporate Union
Relations. OJT will be provided by employees
working together and actively assisting each other
comparable to the Apprentice Program concept.
Each employee will be responsible for recording
their training plan with the assistance of their
Supervisor and the Skilled LTTC Representative.
Training will be prioritized based upon employee
requirements and operational needs consistent
with WCM. Training plans will be filtered to address
employee training needs as identified by their radar
charts to eliminate their skill gaps and to align with
current plant work assignment. Employees upon
initiation of their training plan, can simultaneously
begin their OJT training and can cross functionally
apply their learning's.
11
Skilled Trades Rationalization Letter
Any concerns raised locally will be
addressed between the Union and
Company representatives. Further, during
periods of overtime periods it is agreed
and understood that employees will
perform any work within their Work
Groups that they can safely perform. With
this expansion of job duties, Management
will ensure that the tools required to
complete the work assignment(s) will be
available to the employee.
12
Skilled Trades Rationalization Letter
The following classifications are not impacted by
this Agreement and remain separate and distinct.
#5703 Boiler Repair, #5706 Repair – Compressor,
#5905 Boiler Operator, #5920 Compressor
Operator, #5927 Engineer – Steam, #5929 Energy
Center Operator, #5942 Sewage Disposal Plant
Operator, #5654 Mechanic-Refrigeration & Air
Conditioning (employees not associated with the
Energy Center will be classified into “other
mechanical” classification grouping), #5693

13
Skilled Trades Rationalization Letter
In addition, all other skilled trade
classifications have been eliminated. New
entrants to the Electrical, Mechanical or
Tool & Die Work Groups must have eight
(8) years of experience in a recognized
trade or have graduated from a bona fide
apprentice program. Employees from the
eliminated classifications who meet these
qualifications will be reclassification as a
Journey or J-1 related trade in accordance
with Section S-3(C).
All other ancillary skilled trades functions
are beyond the new scope of work (i.e.
construction, high voltage projects) will
be sourced to a third party and all
provisions or past practices regarding
contractor matching are eliminated in
these cases. As part of the existing
contractor review process, similarly skilled
work that is contracted out will not
exceed the one for one match.
14
Skilled Trades Rationalization Letter
Aligning all manufacturing resources to
properly implement the provisions of this
letter is paramount to a successful
transition. Accordingly, within sixty (60)
days of ratification of the 2011 Agreement,
a meeting will be held by representatives of
the International, UAW and Corporate
Union Relations to communicate the
commitments of the letter. In attendance
for the Company: Plant Manager, Human
Resources Manager, the manufacturing
Engineering Manager and the Maintenance
Area Manager; for the Union: Local
President, Plant Shop Chairperson, Skilled
Trades Committeeperson and the Skilled
LTTC Trainer.

WCM Connection
• WCM Principles provide the engine to
implement the Skilled Trades Rationalization
initiatives
• Utilize PD methodologies for radar chart planning & detail
• Each individual will be assessed using the following radar
chart scale, following WCM teachings:
Level 1  General awareness, minimal or no knowledge
Level 2  Has had training, has not fully demonstrated
application competency
Level 3  Able to apply, may need help
Level 4  Able to apply well and assist others
Level 5  Able to apply well and can teach others
27
WCM Connection (cont’d)
• System will create initial radar charts and populate a Level 1
in each competency category
• To reach Level 2, must have knowledge, all on line and TTC
courses and performed some OJT
• Only the facility, based on demonstrated competencies and/
or training completion levels may increase an employee to a
level 3 or beyond
28

• NOT the “regular” Tooling U site
41
Best Practices: Processes
• Support Contacts
Dave Lawless (anything related to STR at TU)
313-425-3216
[email protected]
Katie Strand (secondary on LTTC requests)
216-706-6641
[email protected]
42
Best Practices: Processes
• Turnaround Times
• Things ToolingU can help with:
– Questions on TU classes and reporting
Website
• Where to go for Policies, Procedures of STR
or TTC courses:
– UAW International Rep, Ted Street
– Chrysler Rep, Ron Wander
– Your TTC contact
43
Best Practices: FAQs
• “My student achieved the minimum required score
of 80% on a final exam but it still doesn’t show
that he has completed the course. Why not?”
• “Can employees print documents of the class
lessons and keep them for use on the job?”
• “When I go to www.toolingu.com and click “Admin
Log-in” it won’t let me in – why not?”
44
Best Practices: Phase II Of www.toolingu.com/chrysler
• Revamped Reporting Site
– New features and tools to help Chrysler /
UAW National Parties, the TTC, and
LTTC’s to manage STR towards the
objectives outlined today
– Included: filtered training plans, OJT tools,
and additional charts and data
– Separate session roll-out for LTTC’s and
other admin users
45
46
Outside Contracting Notification
• Emotional Topic – too many surprises of contractors at
the door without advance notification (Examples)
• Regular Meetings - Survey revealed plants meeting
regularly – weekly / bi-weekly
• Meeting Minutes - need to be kept and distributed, a
copy sent to Corporate and the International Union
• Utilize Letter 50 – Survey by Outside Contracting
Review Team revealed that only about 50% of plants
use the template
• Don’t confuse “notification” with “agreement”

State of Michigan Electrical Licensing
53
State of Michigan Electrical Licensing
• Public Act 217 requires that all individuals performing work
defined in this Act be licensed in the State of Michigan as either
an Apprentice, Journeyman or Master Electrician.
• On August 1st 2010, the State sent out a licensing rule change that
now requires all individuals who are licensed as Apprentices to certify
that they either are currently enrolled in a United States Department
of Labor (USDOL) approved training program, or have completed one.
• In 2004 Chrysler started to license our Electricians according to State
law.
• Recent Analysis of State and local licenses indicates that over 315 out
of ~600 individuals currently on roll working as Electricians are
licensed.
54
Skilled Trades Rationalization Letter
• Current Electrical Apprentices who do not meet the new
requirement will either have to enroll in 144 class hours of training
per year to renew, or their licenses will be suspended.
• Chryslers Technical Training Center (TTC) is a USDOL approved
training center.
• The TTC has also developed a USDOL approved training program for
an entire apprenticeship program that has six classes being taught
at the TTC and eleven classes taught outside the facility.
• The direct impact of this trade reclassification in Michigan is that in
four plant locations, i.e., SSP, WSP, WTAP and Pilot, the Weld
Equipment Repairmen (WER) will be merged with Electricians and
be renamed Electrical Technicians.
55
Skilled Trades Rationalization Letter
• Each affected employee will have to register with the State
as an Electrical Apprentice for four years.
– After four years, as long as they have completed their training
program and hours, they will be able to sit for the State
Journeyman exam.
– Since this is firmly mandated by the State, the company will be
obligated to pay for license renewal and testing fees.
– This fee is currently $15 per employee per year, and a $200
charge to take the test and issue the State license.
• Each WER must complete 144 class hours of training per year
according to our approved program submitted with the USDOL.
56
Skilled Trades Rationalization Letter
• Compliance - Although we have at least 55% of our current
Electricians on role licensed with the State(or City of Detroit),
we are still not in full compliance.
• With us sending our WERs and transferred Electricians through
licensing programs, now is the ideal time to capture the remaining
unlicensed employees.
• Those who went through a USDOL Electrical apprenticeship will not
be required to take four years of classes and will be able to register
immediately and take their test in four years.
• Those who did not complete a USDOL Electrical Apprenticeship will
be required to take classes and register for four years with the State
before they can take the test.
