Shades of Chrysler 1979-big 3 automaker bailout plan


I was studying at the University in 1979, when the Chrysler Corporation makes management of Carter for the Government guarantee of the complaint. Then the automaker bleeding using cash and looking for a Government guarantee in one billion dollars in a bid to remain afloat. After months of negotiation, the Federal Government agrees to help Chrysler, the signing of the older 1.5 billion dollar loan guarantee, move, that insured the survival of the third-largest producer of America while saving tens of thousands of jobs.

Today, Chrysler seek new aid from the Federal Government, but this time they were United with their two American competitors, General Motors and Ford. Unlike in 1979, the chances of each of the three automakers, receipt of government assistance--more than 25 billion dollars already set aside for plant supply--significantly reduced because none of the companies can understand.

Let's look at the current car climate change and what you must do three automakers to win approval for a Federal bailout.

In 1979 the Chrysler survival is the reference, as are tens of thousands of international projects. With 250 000 employees of Chrysler demise may have sent shock waves through an already strained economy, economic climate, are not too different from what is being tested today.

Then, Chrysler has five months to lobby Congress for aid, even replacing their Chairman John Riccardo, with Lee Iaccoca, the Executive, which helps the iconic Ford Mustang is brought to the market. Iacocca, unlike today's automaker chiefs, travelling back and forth in Washington on commercial jets to negotiate on behalf of Chrysler. Automotive bosses of today's private jets to whisk them back and forth, a source of contention for many who oppose helps automakers.

Even before the Federal Government offers to help Chrysler in 1979, the automaker was forced to seek Union concessions on State and local Governments related to plants provide tax concessions. White collar workers, dealers, suppliers and banks, each cut, ensuring that up to two billion dollars in cost cuts.

It was only after Iacocca and Chrysler managers, these changes are made, the Federal Government intervene. And finally, when the Chrysler cash they are likely to develop new products, including their popular K-cars and managed to pay their loan seven years earlier. Ultimately, the Federal Government made a profit of granted loans to Chrysler.

Today automakers are asking for money, but will be for this all along. As recently as October Gm consider buying Chrysler is said to have enough money to last through 2009. Now, the purchase is excluded and both companies say that they probably only (were) sufficient cash from the latter in 2008. Ford, is a little better, saying that they must have enough money to last through the end of next year. However, Ford has joined their brethren in Detroit asking for government assistance.

Public support for the support of the big three has not been anywhere strong as it was before three decades when three companies dominate the automotive scene. At that time only the Chrysler, Ford and General Motors building cars in the United States, but today a number of foreign automakers have set up shop. Americans see plants, run by Honda, Subaru, Toyota, Hyundai, Mercedes and BMW, making money and cannot understand why the Union operational stores continue to bleed Ford and Chrysler GM dry. As there are Stark differences between the working arrangements between foreign and domestic producers, assistance loan assistance is tepid at best.

Perhaps the most difficult part of bailing, automakers is that he is coming on the heels of the massive undertaking of 700 billion dollars outside of the financial sector. This earlier plan is increasingly unpopular with many citizens who view financial responsibility is almost zero, and that the so-called emergency was not as dire as once made to be.

In this way, even if the big three can find time to make a compelling case for government assistance, support from lawmakers may not be enough to help. In this case, the filing of a bankruptcy Chapter 11 will be necessary to move that can correct problems gives the automaker more forcibly than any kind of assistance from Washington
