Insurance cut riles Chrysler retirees Retired Chrysler salaried workers are angry that a one-time company pension payment -- offered when the automaker eliminated life insurance -- buys them little in the way of death benefits. Retirees learned in March that Chrysler LLC planned to end their company-funded life insurance policies, part of a wider-cost cutting strategy by the Auburn Hills automaker. The benefit was equal to a worker's last year of pay for those who left before 2003, or $50,000 for those who retired after that. The change...

New Chrysler aims for profits, quality Chrysler LLC's top executives have a vision for the automaker that in some ways defies much of what has defined being one of Detroit's Big Three. Their Chrysler will be smaller. It will forge more alliances with other automakers and parts suppliers to gain access to new technology and to make better use of its manufacturing capacity. It will build fewer, but better, cars and trucks that meet changing consumer demands. And it will be profitable. "Just tonnage is not the measurement anymore," Chrysler CEO...
