“Members of Congress were assured that there would be no permanent Chrysler plant closings or job losses under the terms of Chrysler’s (bankruptcy),” Ohio Representative Dennis Kucinich said in a letter to Chrysler CEO Robert Nardelli cited by Reuters.
“When the terms of the bankruptcy were released on 1 May 2009, plants in Michigan, Missouri, Wisconsin and Ohio were targeted for closure,” reportedly wrote Kucinich, who chairs the Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s domestic policy panel.
