The trustees of the Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association (VEBA) for retired UAW-represented workers at Chrysler have named James Blanchard as a director of Chrysler Holding.


Blanchard is a former member of Congress from Michigan, former governor of Michigan, and former US ambassador to Canada, the UAW said in a statement.


“In his public and private sector roles, Blanchard has wide experience in the auto industry, international trade and related issues,” the union added.


Agreements establishing Chrysler Holding permit VEBA trustees to name a director of the corporation, with consent of the UAW. Other company directors will be named by Fiat, the US government, and the government of Canada.


Blanchard can provide input but has no voting power, according to Reuters.
